Started the season well, winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May; less competitive since, including when fifth of eight over 1m at Carlisle five weeks ago; competes from an easing mark with blinkers replacing usual cheekpieces.

Turned things around after a break when scoring at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but she failed to back that up over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; still looks on a workable mark but she's hard to predict and needs to bounce back again.
