Exposed sort who is 0-9 since debut win (5f, AW) in the spring and has failed to progress; on the plus side, she's attractively weighted (10lb lower than last attempt at this trip).

Placed in maidens at Ayr (5f, good) and Haydock (6f, soft); has thrown in some lesser efforts either side of those, not least when finishing one place ahead of the reopposing Elladora Black in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good to soft) latest; would be a player if she can bounce back.
