Soundly beaten on both turf starts but those were very early in her career in 2023; this 5yo has a progressive profile and made it three wins from her last four starts when comfortably landing a Listed contest at Chelmsford (7f, AW) on July 1; in the mix if the return to turf isn't an issue.

1-2 here, finishing a close second in the 2024 running on return from break; in fine form in midwinter, winning a Deauville Listed race then a Newcastle handicap in great style, and can be forgiven a lesser effort there since on first run since wind surgery; regular hood left off; respected.
