Made the frame against own sex on both outings last season (good to soft/good) but takes on males for the first time here and this race looks more competitive; hood added.

Progressed well in bumpers and ran encouragingly behind Betty's Daisy and Edith Pelham when fourth of 16 at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) on second start over hurdles; she was much further behind Edith Pelham at Southwell 19 days ago, but these are early days for this handicap debutante.

Raced too freely and was rather disappointing when only fifth of nine at Plumpton (good) in April but her clear second at Warwick (soft) in February was quite promising and she has possibilities if judged on that.

It was against her own sex when breezing clear from off the pace at Warwick (2m, good) but, still lightly raced, she could be worthy of her 11lb rise in the weights; up in class but this race could be run to suit her style and she's of some interest.

Placed in two bumpers (including on good ground) and has also shown promise over hurdles, finishing third of 18 in Wincanton maiden (1m7f, good to soft) last time; it's possible she will improve for a longer trip but this unexposed 6yo is still entitled to respect on today's handicap debut.
