Has a good strike-rate with five wins from 1m-1m2f, including here (soft; acts on a sound surface); supported when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on her penultimate start before a career-best effort when a close second upped to 1m4f at Salisbury latest; player.

Raised her game again this season, including a Doncaster handicap win (1m4f, good); appeared to show improved form again in Listed race last time, which can be questioned as she was a never-dangerous sixth of seven at 25-1 but her mark is unchanged.

Has improved with each of her three runs, going close here in January (9.4f; second start) then easily making all at Chelmsford (1m2f) 14 days later when the hood was left off (same today); this filly is entered in the Oaks and could continue to progress now upped in trip on handicap debut.
