Yet to threaten but showed ability on AW in the spring and soft ground may not have suited on last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las; her dam is from an excellent family and things could click in a major way at some point.

Notched back-to-back 2m wins at Newcastle (Class 5) and here (Class 4) last September; unable to justify strong market support - weakened from the furlong pole - on return from a four-month absence at Newcastle (2m; 7-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; may strip fitter and has a stamina-packed pedigree.

Progressive; made the breakthrough at Southwell (1m6f) in July; saw off Weddell Sea to win over C&D (by just over 4l) in September, before edging out Sax Appeal at Southwell (2m, Class 4) a fortnight later; this mark (2lb higher) is far from punitive if she is ready to roll off a 151-day break.

Has done well since stepping up to staying trips on Tapeta, winning here (1m6f) in July and at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 13 days ago; not at her best when behind Sax Appeal and Zealandia at the latter track in between, but she remains open to further progress as a 3yo; respected.
