Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut in April and she looked an unlucky loser in the Lily Agnes at Chester on her second start; struggled in good company on her next four starts and the return to novice events hasn't sparked a revival the last twice; enough to prove now.

Seems to tie in closely with Jabaara on one piece of form last summer but has failed to back up that effort, which may flatter her; gained her biggest win on Italian soil and isn't a solid option.
