Failed to show improvement at Southwell (7f, AW) on handicap/seasonal debut, having been easy to back; however, she's in good hands and nicely bred so may yet do better; again check the market signals.

Form & Verdict
Went close last October on sole 2yo start (7f, AW); hasn't progressed on her two outings this year but makes her handicap debut off a fair mark and this attractively bred filly could yet be capable of better.

Has found some improvement up in trip in recent weeks, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before following up with more to spare on turf at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) six days ago; not obviously well treated under a 5lb penalty (new mark due to be 2lb lower) but is unexposed at around 1m3f+ and on turf.

Signs of promise among her first three runs and tapped back into that to win at 33-1 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last time on her second stable start; unproven on slow ground; needs to back up that latest performance but she was clear with one who has since gone one better and she's up just 3lb.

Two wins last summer, including one over C&D, and got back to winning ways at Bath (1m, firm) eight days ago; was already due a 2lb drop then so is just 3lb higher under her penalty (1lb well in); one for the shortlist.
