Down the field on two of her three starts, when pulling hard each time; however, in between she was a good second over this C&D (good to soft) and she's a player on nursery debut if tapping into that promise.

Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest.
