Promising debut over the extended 1m1f here in January 2024 for the Crisfords; soundly beaten in two starts at 7f and 1m for this yard but her dam bred winners on the continent at 1m3f-1m6f so this trip could suit on handicap debut; new aids fitted.

All her racing has been done over longer trips, including up to 1m4f, but the drop to 6f at Kempton (AW) last time resulted in almost her closest finish; tailed off in her turf race, over 1m2f in June, and she still needs to improve significantly on that latest never-nearer fourth of ten.

No win in her first 18 starts but she made the breakthrough when storming 7l clear in a Chelmsford handicap (1m5f) last week; now drops back to 1m4f but she hit a personal best with that success and is a major player again on this switch to a classified event.

Showed promise in both starts over shorter here as 2yo; made successful switch to turf on reappearance in a Catterick maiden and finally got the upper hand over three rivals on handicap debut at Windsor (both about 1m4f on good to firm); up 2lb and should continue to progress.

Came on plenty for debut when going down narrowly at Lingfield (1m) in December, where next-time winners were third and fourth; emphatic winner over that C&D in January and with her siblings having won at 1m2f and 1m4f for this yard, there's a good chance she'll improve again now handicapping.
