Won the Woodcote at Epsom's Derby meeting (6f, good to soft); struggled afterwards but back on track with a near miss off 3lb lower at Chester (5f, soft); that was a Class 4 and this is a Class 2, so likely to need more.

Creditable second off this mark at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last month for Raphael Freire; this eight-race maiden has place possibilities off same mark on debut for new connections.

Showed some promise in novice/maiden events but she was beaten 11l on her nursery/stable debut at Pontefract (good to soft) in July; the step up to 6f may have backfired but she's now 0-7 and others are preferred; tongue-tie back on.
