Lightly raced and progressive filly; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) three weeks ago, nearest finish on that occasion so this return to 6f could suit; something to find on form but could have bigger performances in her.

Made it three wins from his five starts when landing a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; her two other wins came at 6f; returned to form when staying on for fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, AW) last September when last seen and the return to 6f could be a good move on her comeback.
