One of two for yard; two 6f wins last year, making all to score in a Curragh maiden (good) and a conditions race here (gd-yld); disappointed upped to 7f when last seen at York and loads to find on the figures on her first try at 5f, but interesting that Billy Lee seemingly prefers her to King Cuan.
