Safely held at triple-digit odds in three AW novice/maiden races during the winter (all 1m); has better chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap but still makes only limited appeal.

0-8 but has shown improved form when placing on AW at Lingfield (1m4f classified) and Southwell (2m handicap) this spring; looked in control for much of the home straight at Southwell, suggesting this mark is exploitable; well held previous attempt on turf but too soon to suggest she won't prove fully effective on the grass.
