Form & Verdict
Good second of nine here on her debut last month (7f), forcing a well-touted newcomer to work hard; made a complete hash of the start at Leicester two weeks ago and that run can be excused; not easy to support her on the back of that stalls misdemeanour though.

Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.

Made it 2-3 on AW when winning on handicap/seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last April; then off until the autumn, when running some respectable races on turf; has to better that form to win off her current mark but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not discounted.

Low-key debut at Haydock in July (6f, good) but there was much more to take from her recent Kempton third, on the back foot after a slow start but keeping on well in the closing stages behind an impressive winner; plenty more to come and she's one of the likelier ones.
