Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to predict, her summer Chelmsford win (7f; first-time tongue-tie; claimer ridden from 2lb lower) the standout pick of her six starts for this trainer; hasn't competed on turf since June 2024 but is 19lb lower now; risky proposition.

Ran well here over 8.6f in May and went one better at Southwell (7f, AW) next time, winning by a head; shaped as if still in good form here 59 days ago and has since undergone wind surgery (tongue-tie removed); usually held up so she needs things to fall right but is considered.
