Six-race maiden but she's been quietly progressive and recorded another placed effort when runner-up in Fontwell novice (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; seems versatile ground-wise at this early stage of her career and she's respected for in-form yard.

Clear of the third when close second on last month's handicap debut over C&D (soft); also effective on good ground; this unexposed 4yo is open to further improvement and is respected up 4lb.
