Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though.

Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard.
