Some good efforts for her new yard this year prior to snapping a losing sequence with a win at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; that may have given her confidence a boost and she's respected back up 4lb.

Mostly campaigned (without success) in Listed company since winning off 77 at Chepstow (5f, gd-sft) last August; remains 10lb above that last success but a repeat of her 3l Cork fourth on penultimate would give her a squeak back in handicap company and she'll be suited by a strongly run race.
