Well-bred 3yo who built upon previous promise when easily winning Newbury novice (1m, good to firm) in June on her fourth run; soft ground may not have suited in Sandown Listed race subsequently (has shown promise on good to soft) but others have more substance to their form; something to find.

5-6 for her only 2yo run; that didn't go well but she gave it a good shot from the front back here (1m, good to soft) on reappearance and improved markedly again when close second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later; the clear form pick.
