Ready C&D win on debut last month (soft); straightforward task at Leicester two weeks later (5f, good to firm) but she made a good fist of it on on her handicap debut at Newmarket 13 days ago (5f, good), giving best only to another progressive 3yo; 2lb higher but the return to 6f will suit; Group 1 entries suggest she's held in some regard and she's open to further progress; shortlisted.
