Formerly trained in UK; won twice as a 2yo (5f-6f) and ran creditably in defeat in group and stakes company; not a bad effort on seasonal debut but was poor last time; since sold for 23,000gns; check the market on stable debut.

Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour.

Raced alone for the first part of the race when well beaten here (6f, good to firm) on debut and left that bare form behind to win when favourite at Sandown last Thursday (5f, good; flashed tail); she needs another step forward today but is in good hands and she's one to consider.
