Completed a double off this mark at Warwick (2m5f, good) last May but she's had only four runs since and has struggled in all of them; had wind surgery in July but she needs a major revival after another break.

Winner of good-ground mares' handicaps at Hereford (2m4f) and Warwick (2m5f) the last twice; career-high mark and a first step into a Class 4 handicap demand more, but tactically versatile and confidence high.
