Gained a breakthrough success at Sedgefield (2m1f) in April and has continued in very good form, third of 12 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July; cheekpieces replace blinkers and she's a likely player after a break.

Beat last weekend's winner Tara Iti at Sedgefield in April (2m1f, good); similar form in finishing second the last twice and although some 13l behind Auntie Maggie in her penultimate race, she has a hefty swing in the weights with that rival; regularly partnered by Joshua Thompson.
