Had a long absence after finishing second in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; well held in maiden/novice events and dropped away to be beaten about 8l when made favourite for handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft); that bumper run was on good ground which she's not encountered since; if that helps then she's a player.
