Towards the head of the market but finished down the field in 7f/7.6f events on turf in the summer; new trip and surface not enough to tempt here.

Best effort when third of 13 in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) for Alice Haynes in October, but two heavy defeats since (including on stable debut) leave her with plenty to prove; cheekpieces given a go on handicap debut and they need to have an effect.

Just A Girl

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Johnston

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

She's raced nine times and produced her best RPR yet when close second in C&D handicap (good to firm) last month, splitting Albaydaa and Applesandpears who were carrying 2lb more; probably vulnerable back up in grade.
