3yo was kept busy at two, her sole win coming in a Thirsk novice (6f, gd-sft); ran well in big sales races at Naas and Newmarket on yielding and soft ground; has failed to fire in two starts for Adrian Murray at Dundalk; a bit to prove for now.

Wide-margin winner at Kempton (7f, AW) in February but she's found little at the trip since, on the AW and turf, and fitting cheekpieces (persevered with here) made little difference when having a go at front-running at Wetherby recently.

All six starts over 6f; built upon previous promise to win three-runner novice at Leicester on final 2yo start; may have needed this month's seasonal and handicap debut at Thirsk but was well beaten and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; first AW start.

She had shown promise on her first four starts so a wide-margin win in a three-runner heavy-ground fillies' novice at Leicester when last seen wasn't a bolt from the blue; whether she's well treated for her handicap debut remains to be seen.
