Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern.

Had been on a losing run of over 2.5 years before a short head victory at Gowran last time provided her fourth career turf win (1m, soft); runner-up hasn't done much for the form in the meantime; still on an attractive mark compared to her previous wins if continuing on an upward curve.
