Landed a 7f Listed event in the mud on her final 2yo start; best effort of the current campaign when third of 11 in 7f Sandown handicap (soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied first time; place shout if the ground becomes testing.

Not particularly solid on 2025 form but this is a drop back in class on handicap debut; interesting at this level if the ground is slow, having gained her 2yo wins (including Listed) on softer than good.
