Has popped up in front where it matters once in each of the last four years, doing it smoothly this March over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW; close third at Kempton (AW) one week later and she ran to a similar level in one of her turf races (good to firm) last term, so she's in serious contention for a second win in this campaign.

Missed the whole of 2023 but has been consistent in handicaps since last summer; didn't enjoy a clear run when third of six over C&D last month, but was still well held and that didn't really prove her stamina.
