Won 1m4f novice events at Kempton and Ascot (soft) last autumn; flopped on handicap debut at Southwell (AW) in April but she's still unexposed and is a half-sister to a useful winner at this trip; has claims if she can bounce back and any rain would be welcomed.

Progressive in three novices last year, winning at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in September and under a penalty at Ascot (1m4f, soft) the following month; makes her handicap debut after seven months off and, like many of these, the market should indicate what is expected.

Both starts over C&D, finishing second (behind a subsequent Listed scorer) in May then down the field (behind Perrine; wore tongue-tie) last month; reproduction of debut form would give her a major chance.

Two moderate efforts were punctuated by some promise shown at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) on her second start; switches to turf for this handicap debut from a mark that looks fair if she can run to the level of that penultimate effort; check the market for clues.
