Safely held in first two nurseries, latterly when over 7l behind Pure Liberty at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; needs to up her game on this AW return and her tendency to race too freely is a concern.

Good effort over C&D (soft; only start here) last September but signed off for Amy Murphy with a middling effort in January; low-key stable debut at Yarmouth in June and blew out in a classified there a fortnight later; first-time cheekpieces and return to this course the straws to clutch at.
