Two wins and three seconds from her five runs in British points; two front-running wins in mares' maiden/novice hurdles at Lingfield and Warwick (2m3f/2m5f; both soft ground), showing plenty of grit on the latter occasion (form looks solid); she moves into handicaps with the potential to do even better.
