Has done well since dropped to 0-50 classified company (2161), her latest win coming over C&D 19 days ago; needs to show she can mix it back in a handicap, but a player if she can.

Far from solid on her novice form but may improve now switched to nursery level and wearing headgear; bred to do better, being the first foal of a 5f Listed winner for her owner.
