Form & Verdict
Took pleasing step forward from debut effort when scoring over the bare 7f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; travelled strongly before asserting inside the final furlong that day and probably wasn't fully extended; can make further progress.

Six seconds and two thirds from her eight races; best of those was in a handicap at the York Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but she was turned over at long odds-on in a maiden on latest, which has to prompt some caution despite that being her AW debut.
