Form & Verdict
Sixth of 11, beaten 6l, on this month's Kempton debut (7f; finished in front of Ceanna) but the bare numbers mask the considerable promise she displayed, travelling very well in rear turning for home and picking up very strongly from over 1f out without getting a clear run through; drawn wide today but she is open to plenty of improvement.

Two runs at Kempton in June, showing better form at the second attempt when beaten a neck into second (7f); subsequent absence suggests it hasn't been smooth sailing since but she is still a key player.
