28-1 and nothing doing on her Newmarket debut but she revealed more in a first-time eyeshield when runner-up to a next-time novice winner, at Yarmouth (also 7f; soft) in September; now hooded and has raced freely so the extra furlong raises a query; handicaps may offer more scope.

Heavy ground excuses her low-key end to 2025 and she ran a series of good races, including a win at Hamilton when first tried in blinkers; whether first time out is the time to catch her remains to be seen but interesting that a tongue-tie goes on for her return.
