With the hood left off and front-running tactics adopted, she left her previous form behind to win by 6l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month on her second handicap start, breaking the track record in the process; now 11lb higher in a hotter race but this 3yo is in top hands and her illustrious pedigree provides optimism that she can rate higher still.
