Went close on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in July and won her next two (7f, good to firm); beaten about 3l when third of five to Brindavan at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago but she could improve upon that latest form if getting a stronger gallop; not ruled out.

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.
