Sole win from seven starts came in a Wolverhampton novice (8.5f, AW) in October; she ran well when runner-up in a handicap there in April but well beaten over 1m2f on turf in two starts since and now drops to 7f for the first time since her debut; cheekpieces applied.

On a hat-trick after improved efforts to win over 1m on good ground at Thirsk and Goodwood (both under Joe Leavy); she was all out last time in a race that panned out favourably but a 4lb rise was fair and this is only her eighth race, albeit her first not over a mile.

Got off the mark on her AW reappearance in April and following a solid handicap debut she struck at Wetherby (also 7f, good to firm; made all) three weeks ago; received only a 1lb nudge for that neck success and there's a good chance we've yet to see the best of her.
