Consistent in six runs for Roger Varian without really progressing; creditable third of 11 at Nottingham last month (6f, good) before changing hands for 38,000gns five days later; drops to 5f for the first time since his debut; still has time to do better.

Sole win in 23 starts came over 5f in Britain two seasons ago; has made a quiet start for his current yard; of some interest with Dylan Browne McMonagle teaming up with a trainer from his native Donegal.

Beat 16 rivals to win at Bath on Good Friday (5f, soft); best effort since when second in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Ascot 12 days ago, conceding first run to the winner but finishing her race off well; good mark and she shouldn't be underestimated.

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.
