Got up late to win a 7f handicap at Newcastle on her reappearance/handicap debut in September; better form when second of 12 at Kempton 18 days ago (1m) and she shouldn't be far away with a repeat.

2-6 when trained in France including a win on the AW, but that was in a Deauville claimer (7.5f, Polytrack) this month; makes her debut for her new yard having changed hands for 20,000euros subsequently and she looks right up against it at this level.

Looked promising when winning twice on slow turf at Lingfield last summer; yet to win a handicap but she retains plenty of ability and her new stable (sold out of Peter Chapple-Hyam's stable for 15,000gns in October) are very quick to get her back up at 1m; tongue-tied for the first time; one to take seriously.

Promising when winning twice (7f/7.6f) in the mud in the summer of 2021 but mostly disappointing since; made a low-key stable debut over 1m at Southwell (20-1) in December; falling in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market.

Looked promising when winning twice on slow turf at Lingfield last summer; interesting on her best handicap form but she made a low-key stable debut over 1m at Southwell last week (not beaten by the trip); drops back to 6f with tongue-tie and cheekpieces tried together (both worn independently in the past); something to prove for now.
