Stayed on for second on debut in C&D novice ten days ago, green but displaying clear promise; that race perhaps wasn't the strongest (time slower than the other two 6f races on the card) but she's open to improvement.

Confined to 6f on the AW thus far and hasn't looked back since finishing second on debut, completing four-timer in fillies' Listed race at Chelmsford without much fuss; today's assignment is tougher and the surface is an unknown, but the Chelmsford form has worked out well and she cannot be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Some promise in her two runs for Kevin Ryan; sold for 7,000gns in October and she made a immediate return on that investment when running away with a 7f fillies' maiden at Wolverhampton last month (cheekpieces for the first time; well backed); penalised as a result but she shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to 6f and she's a key contender.
