Achieved one of her best RPRs when back from a break at Thirsk last April (runner-up; 6f, good) and when starting out for George Baker following a break at Kempton in November (6f; won when sporting this headgear combination for the first time); not quite so effective in two runs since but yard is now red hot; respected; withdrawn after showing reluctance to post at Salisbury recently.
