Won point-to-point bumper on debut last March (2m, good to soft); only 6-1 for rules debut at Aintree (2m1f, good) in May when well beaten (reportedly ran too free); interesting to see if she's once more prominent in the betting back from some time off.

Closely related to useful bumper/jumps winner Rhythm Is A Dancer; made all for easy win in point bumper at Bangor (good to soft) in March; bought for £15,000 soon afterwards and now with a professional stable; likely contender under Gina Andrews.
