Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Back to winning ways lately, scoring at Chelmsford (1m6f; in blinkers) and Lingfield (2m; in cheekpieces), dictating a steady pace latterly; 2lb higher now but still nicely weighted on historic form so should give another positive showing.
