Sole appearance here (penultimate start) was not as good as her other two runs in handicaps but she was beaten just over 3l so it was respectable; found only a notably progressive rival too good for her at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) last time and has major claims on that performance.

Runner-up twice before winning a three-runner novice here (1m) for Brian Meehan in January 2022; creditable third of five on her handicap debut here (1m2f) three weeks later; absent since (sold for £9,000 last August) but should relish this longer trip and she's worth a market check on her stable debut.
