Won a novice here and her one handicap win was on Newcastle AW; moved up from 1m4f to 2m for warm race at Lingfield (AW) eight weeks ago and, although below best, did not appear beaten by the trip as she plugged on into fourth of 14 with first-time cheekpieces; may have more to offer as a stayer.

Lightly raced since her debut early last year, winning at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) and Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta); steps up another half-mile in trip, but she shapes like a stayer and is worthy of respect, especially if strong in the market; cheekpieces are given a go.

In fine fettle over C&D during November, winning (from 7lb lower) before going down by the minimum margin next time; only fourth to today's rivals Golspie (winner) and King Chaos (second) latest, so needs to bounce back if he's to reverse those placings.
