Moderate debut (turf) for previous yard last year but strongly supported in two AW novices for this stable in February, finishing runner-up at Kempton before scoring at Southwell (also 1m) one week later; third of four on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) was a little underwhelming last month and now sports a tongue-tie for her second go on grass.

Took a big step forward to win well at Newcastle (1m, AW) in the second of her two autumn starts; however, she's the only runner who isn't entered in the Oaks and, as her bare form backs up, perhaps brings the least ability and/or potential.
