Just held on to land big prize at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but wasn't in quite the same form on next two outings (2m3f/3m) and probably needs to find hidden reserves.

Game when winning 2m4f handicap at Windsor (good) on New Year's Day, shaping as though she would be worth a crack at a staying trip; soundly beaten at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) since, and in view of this longer distance it's a concern she failed to settle that day, but she's not ruled out.

Bumper winner and good second in a Listed mares' event at Sandown (both soft) in March; had little difficulty landing the odds on her Market Rasen hurdle debut and reappearance (extended 2m4f, good) 16 days ago; that was a weak race but she has the potential to leave that bare form behind.

Last season started well but petered out and it might be happening again, as although it wasn't a bad run behind Cheltenham Festival heroine White Noise two starts back, Chepstow last time was underwhelming (well behind Siog Geal; soft ground no excuse).
