Has reached the frame in all of her three runs (6f) this winter, including a close second at Southwell ten days ago; travelled well for a long way in that race and she sets a clear standard on this drop to 5f; should be hard to beat.

Won three times over 6f in early 2024 and was placed in a valuable race on sole attempt at 7f but is yet to strike form since returning from a break in December and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
50,000gns yearling; ran very green on her 6f Haydock debut (15-2) in September but she returned with an encouraging third at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; was beaten 7l in that race but it was behind a useful rival and she's open to more progress.

Six-race maiden; went very close off a lowly mark at Windsor (5f, soft) on handicap debut; not in the same form back on fast ground since, though met some trouble last time; underfoot conditions aside, has something to find on ratings.
