Second of 12 in an uncompetitive maiden at Southwell (5f, hooded first time) eight days ago but there were positives to be gleaned from that run, notably that she was running on in the final furlong (weak finisher in all starts beforehand); 6lb lower than for her latest handicap effort; might find a small race this winter but perhaps not this one.
