Made a promising 2yo debut 12 months ago (7f, soft) but she was well beaten when odds-on for her second 2yo start and neither run this year has been too encouraging; this is her first 7f outing since debut, while cheekpieces are now given a go, so a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue.
