Has won on good to soft but her latest three wins, at about 1m, came on good to firm; on a highish mark now but off since September and past evidence suggests she'll come on for the run.

Handles most ground and she's tactically versatile; has been generally reliable this season and she won in a tight finish at Windsor (1m) in August before a creditable third at York (1m1f) last month; still looks on a workable mark and she's respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

It was a deep handicap she contested at Goodwood and in solid form otherwise, winning for a fourth time by a short-head at Windsor 24 days ago (1m, good to firm); clear claims off 2lb higher if in similar form here.

Well beaten in Listed race and AW handicap on final two runs in November; however, a break may have helped and she's of interest judged on her two efforts last summer (1m1f/8.3f), when shaping as though 1m2f would suit.

Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut.
