Relatively lightly raced 4yo who ended last year with wins at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) and Musselburgh (1m4f, soft); started this season with a low-key effort but she may have needed that run and still has scope for further progress; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade.

Back to life in the autumn on last three starts, beaten a neck on first occasion (good to soft) before front-running wins at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) and Musselburgh (1m4f, soft); the ground may not be so testing for this reappearance but she's relatively lightly raced and could have more to offer.

Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f; from 3lb lower) in March but has been way short of her best since, including tried in blinkers and a visor on her last two starts at Lingfield (7.5f) and Wolverhampton (8.5f) respectively; no reason to anticipate better reverting to turf; risky.
