Third in two 2yo Group races last summer and she'd be of interest if rediscovering that form, but she's struggled on her three starts this season and a major turnaround is required.

Won a fillies' novice at York on her debut last July (6f, good); acquitted herself with credit in Group races afterwards, best effort when a close third in the Lowther at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); has a fair bit to prove after two modest runs in Listed races this season.
