Opened her account in Newmarket contest (1m) in May; consistent since, most recently going very close at Ripon (1m2f, good; clear of remainder); due to go up 3lb in future; leading player, provided she takes to first-time headgear.

Change of tactics and off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good; 10-1) three starts back; she's held her form well - without progressing - making the frame at Nottingham and Hamilton (8.5f); dam was a 1m2f-1m4f winner (RPR 91) so she deserves another chance to prove herself over 1m2f.
