Out of the frame in both starts last month, albeit green on her debut and meeting all sorts of trouble when sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta; Impulsive Lady third) last time; bred to be better than she has shown and ought to play a part granted a kinder passage; stable also runs the newcomer Rebecca West.

2yo form nothing to shout about (despite winning) and she pulled hard when not getting home in a 1m Newmarket handicap on her return; however, she absolutely hosed home over 7f at Southwell (AW; also the scene of her novice win) and her new mark elevates her to this sort of level; still has a bit to prove on turf but hard to rule out.
