Form & Verdict
Both AW runs have been at Kempton and after winning there last month (1m) she ran a cracker in defeat back over 7f at York, finishing second of 18; only 2lb higher than for that Class 2 effort and she's an uncomplicated filly who has to go well.

Three wins last June-September (7f-1m) along with 1l second of 18 in a fillies' handicap here (7f, good to firm), and she's better than she showed at Newmarket (1m, good) on her final outing last season; this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands to continue to progress and she's one to consider.
