Prolific in 2022-23 but just one win in her last 29 starts, gained over this C&D but off 5lb lower; mostly consistent without threatening this year, and minor honours likeliest at best.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.
