7f handicap win at Ayr last September off 4lb lower (good ground; tongue tied first time); similar form when a close fourth at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in April but she took a backwards step at Newmarket last month; slower ground no problem and a revival could be forthcoming.

Made a winning debut at Nottingham (6f, good to firm; 16 ran) in June and defied a penalty in fine style at Pontefract three weeks late; prominent in the betting for her nursery debut at the Ebor meeting but she was slowly away and unable to land a telling blow; dropped 4lb for her troubles and now has a tongue-tie fitted; likely to stay and could still have her best days ahead of her.
