Won twice as a 2yo and she has run well for second in a couple of stronger fillies' handicaps (6f, good) on her last two starts; Ethan Tindall's claim helps matters and she is high on the shortlist.

Two wins last summer, a 5.5f maiden at Wetherby (good to firm) and a 5f nursery at Haydock (good), before coming up short in two sales races and the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy; never dangerous in a C&D handicap on last month's return to action; others look better treated.
