Ended last year with a 4l win in a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) but she returned from an absence with a low-key effort on her handicap debut at Kempton (15-2) two weeks ago; still has potential after only five starts but she needs to resume her progress back on turf.

Not without ability as when fourth of nine behind the smart Laurel at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in September; out of her depth in Listed company next time and finished well held on her handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, soft) 15 days ago; still can't be dismissed in this company.

Won a 7f maiden here in November before a close second in a 1m handicap at Kempton the following month; found things tough in a Listed race in France last time but she's back in calmer waters now and still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form; dangerous back on Tapeta.
