Has raced only on good to firm; made good late gains against more experienced rivals when a never-nearer third of 12 at Beverley on debut (5f); no progress since but of more interest at this level for the first time and, as a daughter of Mayson, any easing of the ground should suit.

Drew a blank in five 2yo outings but there were signs of ability and she shaped as if this trip would suit when third in Thirsk novice (6f, good to soft) in July; may be an improved performer at three and market support would be significant.
