All three wins (from 12 starts) have been on the AW, on which she made a quiet reappearance back in late March; however, she was only pipped in this race 12 months ago (on good) and was again runner-up here after a break in September (soft); if rediscovering any of that form then she'd have a part to play.

Has contested three Listed races since winning on debut at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last October, posting a creditable fourth at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in May last time; that form suggests she has potential off her handicap debut mark, and she shaped as though the drop back to 1m could be a plus.
