Progressive novice (6f, AW) and dual handicap winner (7f, good and soft) who signed off for Rae Guest with solid fourth of ten in Listed event on AW here (1m) in November; can likely do better again with just eight starts behind her; stable debut.

Won at Haydock (7f, good) in May and Sandown (7f, soft) in September in her first two handicaps, with wind surgery in between; the style of those was promising for 1m and her never-nearer seventh of 15 in French Listed race (1m, soft) last time strongly suggests unfinished business at this trip, but she has work to do on the ratings.
