Made a bright start to career with two turf wins over 6f but has come up well short in Group 3 and nursery since; needs to raise her game in first-time headgear on AW debut.

Won at Chepstow (good to soft) before defying a penalty without much fuss at Redcar (6f, good to firm); predictably struggled (50-1) when tried in a Group 3 at Salisbury two weeks ago and this nursery debut is a lot more realistic.
