Progressive in 2025, coming right away for a 1m Redcar win on yard debut before following up on Kempton AW (7f); races freely and saw too much daylight at Newmarket (1m, good) in October but, hanging on well for third, she lost nothing in defeat; up against it in a Listed AW race at Kempton in March but it was a good return; has another handicap in her.

Looked a good prospect when making a successful debut in 1m Yarmouth novice (soft) last October; those in behind haven't managed a win in a combined 17 starts since but she could do no more than score easily and it's potentially significant that her in-form top stable is prepared to pitch her straight in at Group level on her return.
