Won a Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft) in July; hasn't repeated that form but a close third over C&D (first-time eyeshield) last week was her best effort since; not discounted off the same mark under promising Harry Vigors.

Half-sister to top-class stayer Quickthorn; well beaten on last month's debut but subsequent 80-1 second at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) was much better, and any further progress will put her in the shake-up here.

Only made her debut just under a year ago; best effort on second start when runner-up in 7f novice on the July course (good to firm) in June; not badly treated on that form but didn't build on it and ended last term with a whimper when tailed off at Musselburgh in August; market might help on this seasonal/handicap debut.

Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt.
