She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.

Two wins (1m7f/2m, good to soft/heavy) from her first three starts for this yard and perhaps her latest run at Newbury three weeks ago came too soon, just six days after she won at Fontwell; not discounted.

Ex-Irish mare who is 2-3 for new stable, most recently scoring in a canter at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last Sunday; open to further progress and looks well in under a 7lb penalty; commands respect.
