Delivered on debut promise when winning 8.6f AW novice in the autumn; yet to make any significant progress this year and her tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but she kept on well for third at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month and will probably be on the premises again here; tongue-tie removed.
