6-1 when third of ten on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good) last month despite showing signs of inexperience; should have learned plenty from that and the runner-up has won since, so she has to be respected even though she isn't sure to appreciate the extra furlong on breeding.

Back to something approaching her best when winning a 14-runner handicap at Southwell last September (blinkered first time); may have needed the run back at Southwell last month (first run for 164 days); she'll do well to win but a minor placing isn't out of the question.

Improvement is needed but this lightly raced 4yo is progressive; third in Listed race at Pontefract (1m, soft) in July then did well to finish fourth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) having been denied a clear run when making headway from the rear; could have more to offer; interesting.

Prominent in the market for her first two starts over 5f/6f on turf/Polytrack earlier in the season, but failed to figure either time; has been given a break since and is bred to be much better than she has shown, so interesting to see if her backers return; stable also runs Rosette.
