Has raced only at sprint trips but her latest third at Lingfield (6f, soft) was quite encouraging for the extra furlong as she lacked speed rather than ability in the closing stages; good chance she can find more.

Inconsistent nine race-maiden who was out of sorts in 1m nurseries in her final two runs last season; some of her best efforts have been at 6f but she's untried on AW and has something to prove on return for new yard; cheekpieces removed.

Outpaced in first two 5f starts and the same was true to a certain extent when upped to 6f behind quite useful rivals at Thirsk (good to soft) in July, but she rallied into a promising third; 7f can suit on handicap debut.
