Won a Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) last August and was runner-up in next three starts but she's finished down the field in her last three handicaps; wasn't beaten far at Newbury (7f) last month but this is tougher back up in grade and others are more convincing; tongue-tie added.

Didn't build on her debut promise in two further runs for Clive Cox; second of seven on her stable debut at Ffos Las last month (6f, good; cheekpieces on for the first time); makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and could have more to come.

Out of a half-sister to the stable's 2,000 Guineas winner Chaldean; some of the yard's 2yos have improved markedly second time out this season but this filly didn't show a lot here 13 days ago (6f, good); the hood tried then is now left off.
