Has won four of 12 races on the AW, three over C&D, and the latest at Southwell last October (1m3f) off this mark; should come on for her latest run in April when back from a break; can go well.

She ran her best race so far when second of six on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); she will need a bit more to defy this mark but she showed promise on her sole turf start and is unexposed.

Placed in all three starts over 1m on the AW this year, albeit not really progressing; needs to turn things around now handicapping, but the longer trip should suit on pedigree.

Out of the frame in three starts over 7f/1m on soft turf during the autumn; makes her handicap debut after six months off, but is out of a French 1m1f AW winner so well worth a market check.
