Travelled strongly but very green when asked for her effort at Newmarket four weeks ago (6f, good to firm), eventually keeping on to snatch second in the last stride (the third has since won decisively); should have no problem with 7f and she is a leading contender.

Showed promise as a 2yo (7f-1m) for Ed Walker but not so good in two starts (1m2f) for Milton Harris last year; offered more when sixth of seven here (1m2f) nine days ago on stable debut and first start back from wind surgery; needs to improve for this step up in trip if she's to figure here

Promising third at Ascot on her debut in July (6f, good to firm) and she ran to a similar level when a front-running second of nine at Kempton three weeks ago (7f); should be more to come and she holds solid claims for a stable who have won two of the last four runnings of this maiden.

Usually slowly away but she made virtually all when 50-1 winner of a Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, scoring in clearcut style from Rainbows Edge; that was a huge career best but, under a 3lb penalty, she probably needs better still to follow up.
