Won two AW novice events, at Kempton (1m) last October and Wolverhampton (9.5f) in May, and made it 3-3 in that sphere when winning a handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) last time; however, she still needs to prove she's just as effective on turf.

Another unexposed filly from a top yard and she cost 450,000gns; her only turf run was on soft ground on debut and she's looked a work in progress in winning two on the AW (1m/9.4f), last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; the potential is there to take a sizeable step forward in her first handicap.
