Made a winning handicap debut at Kempton (AW) on her return last May and scored again at Thirsk (good) in September; fine effort despite not getting the breaks when just denied in Ascot Listed event (also 7f, soft) the following month and midfield finish from a poor draw at Longchamp a fortnight later is easily glossed over; commands respect on this return.
