Form & Verdict
Would have won a 5.7f Bath maiden last month had her rider not eased her prematurely (received a 28-day ban); too free for her own good when only sixth on 7f nursery debut nine days later; connections have had a big rethink over the trip but she remains one who should be up to making an impact off a mark in the 60s.
