Safely held on handicap debut in April (1m2f, soft) but fared much better wen close third at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) the following month, despite racing too freely; could easily have more to offer but will have something to prove if the ground softens.

Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events on AW but she made a low-key start in handicaps when a remote fifth of six at Nottingham (1m2f) last month; the soft ground may have been an issue but she's been well held in both her turf runs so far and has some questions to answer.
