Came up well short in Group 1/Listed events in the second half of 2025 but different story on Kempton AW reappearance, readily seeing off ten rivals in 1m Listed race; winner on good to soft; capable of making her presence felt, with further progress a distinct possibility after only six starts.

Won novices at about 1m at Wolverhampton and Leicester (good to soft) before finishing well beaten when pitched into Group 1 level for the Prix Rothschild at Deauville (1m, good); it's unlike her trainer to go tilting at windmills so probably has a better chance than her inferior figures may imply.

Won a 7f maiden at Doncaster (good to firm) and bumped into a smart filly next time at Leicester (1m, good to soft); unwise to knock her too harshly for a midfield finish in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot when last seen three months ago; by Frankel and out of a Cheveley Park winner, so retains lots of potential.
