Cheekpieces applied when she raced freely and didn't get home over 1m2f at Goodwood on her handicap debut in June; there's hope for this trip on pedigree but she'll need to settle better.

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.

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.
