Progressed well last season, her four wins from just five outings culminating in a clearcut Listed success at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy; also handles good to firm); shaped as if needing the run when fifth in Group 3 there on reappearance; gives the impression she'll relish this extra yardage, and with further improvement on the cards she's high on the list.
