Won three times over 7f on Tapeta elsewhere the winter before last, but then lost her way; better effort when third of 13 after four months off at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in August and well handicapped if building on that, but her stamina for this far remains unproven; cheekpieces given a go.

Eventually swallowed up and well held at Newcastle last Friday, having been too headstrong upped to 1m2f; close second over C&D three starts ago but this isn't her ideal grade (looks best in Class 6).

She has finished second over 7f three times this winter, twice at this track; not at her best at Newcastle last month, however, and others are more appealing for win purposes.

In decent form having made the frame in fillies' handicaps at this course (second over 1m) and Wolverhampton (fourth over 7f) this year; hard to dismiss, for all that new mark (2lb higher) has kicked in.

Productive 2022 campaign included five wins (7f-8.5f, turf/AW); close second in fillies' handicap at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie applied) on New Year's Day; leading player off same mark (likely to go up in weights once reassessed).

Unable to land a serious blow in Class 3 event here last month, taking record for current yard to 0-7; however, well treated on two pieces of C&D form last winter and has possibilities dropped back two grades.
