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.

Has raced mostly at 7f+ and was one of the first off the bridle in this race last year (soft) before reducing the deficit to about 4l behind Funny Story; retains ability for new yard but has plenty to find at the weights and she didn't run well at Ascot last week; now has cheekpieces added.
