Comparatively experienced, having raced six times; takes on some promising rivals in this field but brings useful form, having gone close in the Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) most recently; 1-1 over 7f (Newmarket nursery win) and can't be dismissed.

Has improved with each of her three starts, most recently short-headed by Timefall in a C&D maiden (good to firm); there's every chance she'll continue to progress and she's one to consider off a fair opening mark.

Flopped at odds-on in Kempton novice last month and something to prove after that, but it was her AW debut and she'd previously made all in a Goodwood maiden (6f, good) on her second start; not discounted now back on turf.

Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; she missed two runs on account of the ground (good to firm) last month; tongue-tie now added; looks on a handy mark.
