Won a Listed race at York (5f, good) as a 2yo but she's 0-12 since and has had some major blips along the way; reappeared with fair fifth in Listed event at Kempton (1m) in March but Never Let Go was ahead of her in that race and the market leaders were well below form; only beaten a nose in the corresponding race 12 months ago but even that will need bettering today.
