All eight wins have come on the AW and is 0-8 on turf, including when just under 3l behind Bellarchi at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; 3lb pull not enough to tempt, especially as she has never attempted this far before.

Four handicap wins on the Southwell AW this January-March (7f/6f); ran right up to her best when 3.5l fifth of seven to Circe in 7f Musselburgh Listed race latest but it underlines she needs more at this level; a wide draw won't make it any easier.

Four handicap wins on the Southwell AW this January-March (7f/6f) and has also shown promise on turf (albeit 0-6 on grass); however, she needs a sizeable step forward if she's to pose a threat in this Listed contest.
