Made all in a Chepstow maiden (1m, good) and picked off the front two for a successful handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm); not sure that told us a great deal (the runner-up is now high in the weights after a prolific season) but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world and she's in the right hands to keep progressing.

She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far.
