Won her sole 2yo start (1m2f, good) and reappeared with Listed second at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; easily won Salisbury novice (1m2f, good to firm) last time; the Newbury form has been let down but this unexposed 3yo, who has two Group 1 entries, holds leading claims today nevertheless.

Well beaten at Chepstow on May's debut (1m2f, good to soft) but she fared better at Salisbury on her second start, beaten 8l behind a useful filly; that race wasn't a thorough test at the trip and she remains capable of better now stepping up in trip.
