Progressive last term, winning two in a row at Goodwood (1m, good to soft/good) in the autumn, and kept on well for a close fourth on last month's reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm); solid claims back up to 1m.

Second to Kats Bob over C&D (good to firm) last year off 3lb higher; has resumed in good form this spring, following Chester near miss with a close second of 13 to reopposing Mae Amor at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; obvious chance off the same mark; second-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces.

Improved to finish a close fourth of nine on her third start at Hamilton (6f, good) in June, but took a step backwards when third of four on nursery debut there (5f, good to soft) last month; closely related to a Polytrack winner so still worth a second look on AW debut.
