2yo campaign ended with heavy defeats in a nursery and Listed race; however, she won a soft-ground 6f nursery at Carlisle last September and could be a contender if getting her career back on track following a break.

Best effort when making most to win nursery at Carlisle (6f, soft) in September; perhaps didn't stay 7f next time, although stamina wasn't the sole reason for a poor run; needs to bounce back and has plenty to find on form.

Returned to form to make all by half a length at Carlisle (6f, soft) ten days ago on her second nursery start, beating one who has posted wins either side; kept on well on that occasion and her dam was a 7f winner, both of which bode well for this step up in trip; respected under 6lb penalty.

On the back of quite promising efforts on her first three starts she was backed into 2-1 favouritism for her Carlisle handicap debut in September but finished last of nine and was subsequently found to have bled; off since; it'll be interesting to see whether her supporters are prepared to give her another chance.
