Shaped well when second on reappearance at Ripon (6f) in April but he beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap the following month; this fair 5.5f juvenile winner shouldn't be written off.

A fair and consistent 5.5f scorer at 2yrs; back from six months off with a good clear second of 13 in 6f Ripon handicap last month; not taken lightly despite a 4lb weights rise.

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Newcastle and she was back on the scoresheet over that C&D 11 days ago; up from Class 5 today and her turf efforts leave her with something to find.

Made all when winning a C&D nursery off 3lb lower last autumn; no more than a fair turf comeback six weeks ago but that was her first run in six months and the return here looks a plus.

Much improved on her AW debut when a 66-1 winner of 6f nursery at Newcastle in October; she needs to back it up now returned to turf after seven months off the track.

Has cut little ice in her three runs, seventh of eight in 7f maiden here 18 days ago; this switch to handicaps needs to spark improvement.
