Placed in two Newmarket races at two and returned with a narrow success in an ordinary Thirsk maiden (7f, soft); outclassed in a 1,000 Guineas trial afterwards and this mark looks quite harsh on what she's achieved.

Both wins in 2023, at 1m1f and about 1m2f, but this C&D seemed to just catch her out in May; two good efforts at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and Pontefract (1m, good) of late but she may need an easier test than this now and would have preferred some rain.
