Third in a strong Doncaster maiden (1m, soft) on her sole 2yo start; not progressed this season, including when well held on her handicap debut here a fortnight ago (1m2f, soft); dropping back to 1m may help, as might the return of cheekpieces, but there are risks involved.

Has run well in two of her three handicaps and she justified favouritism back in a maiden over 1m at Kempton (AW; second won since); would appear to have little room to manoeuvre off this mark but is effective with give underfoot and running better than most; respected.

Promise when making the frame in 1m maiden/novice events on soft turf and AW last autumn; her first two efforts this term were a little disappointing but she got her career back on track when fourth in 1m Kempton handicap two months ago; the way she kept on from the rear on that occasion suggests this return to 1m2f should suit; retains potential.
