Won at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September on sole 2yo start; both runs this season have been in novice races at Newbury, reappearing with a close second (1m1f, good to soft) and winning last time (1m2f, good to firm); this unexposed 3yo goes up in grade today but is a half-sister to two Listed winners and is in top hands, and could play a leading role.
