Hasn't added to 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win of last summer, albeit highly-tried on occasions, notably second in Group 3 at Newmarket; just three runs this term when well below best, second occasion in C&D conditions event in May; makes handicap debut off reduced mark but opposable.

Respectable third on debut over 1m4f at Bellewstown in July; only just denied over the same course and trip in August; disappointing favourite in a 1m6f maiden at Navan last time; has plenty to find with Get on that running, but may do better down in the trip now.

Camelot filly ran a good third at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) on debut and probably would have won in another few strides when just failing to catch Ob La Di over the same C&D last month; she has bundles of stamina and should run a big race.
