Form & Verdict
Her first two AW runs were quite promising (1m/8.6f) and she tapped into that promise when making a winning handicap debut without much fuss last week at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm); obvious claims under a penalty.

Completed a quickfire hat-trick last month, which means she's 3-3 since handicapping and switched to turf; won well each time, most recently at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; Class 5); now upped two grades off a much sterner mark but could well progress further; has to be feared.
