Form & Verdict
Confirmed the promise of her debut second over C&D (December) when running away with a fillies' novice back here ten days later; defied a penalty at Southwell in January and she was a red-hot favourite for a 6f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday, taking another step forward with a wide-margin success; into much deeper waters now but there could well be a lot more progress in her.

Confined to 6f on the AW thus far and hasn't looked back since finishing second on debut, completing four-timer in fillies' Listed race at Chelmsford without much fuss; today's assignment is tougher and the surface is an unknown, but the Chelmsford form has worked out well and she cannot be discounted.

Placed in three conditions event in France last season (including AW); always well positioned in a steadily-run 6f maiden at Deauville (heavy) on her reappearance three weeks ago, ultimately having to work hard for the win; that form isn't working out and she's up against it at this level from the widest stall.

A bit disappointing when favourite at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time, even allowing for her wide draw; however, she was in top form previously, going close in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) then winning a Listed race at Musselburgh (7f, good), and she was first past the post in this last year (demoted due to interference); major player if bouncing back to her best.
