Still seeking a first win (0-7); fifth on recent stable debut at Wetherby (1m, good; first-time hood) and it's possible that she'll be sharper for that, her first run since early April; it's worth monitoring her progress but others make more appeal for now.

Scarcely managed to beat a rival in three attempts in AW novice/maidens last autumn (all 7f at triple-figure odds); pedigree suggests that this extra yardage could suit and she makes her handicap debut at the lowest level; still unlikely.
