Showed plenty of speed on debut over this trip on AW but compromised her chance by hanging when in the lead; if learning from that can run respectably; is closely matched with Vanity Pays on that run.

1-18 strike-rate and down the field at York last Saturday (6f, good; reportedly never travelling); however, prior to that she was a close third on reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to soft) and a good case can be made on that form; effective on good to soft; could bounce back with big run.
