Low-mileage 4yo who scored comfortably at Southwell in September to complete a quickfire 2m double; turned over at odds-on in hat-trick bid at Southwell (1m6f) last month but a well-handicapped rival got first run in that race; now takes another drop in trip but she still looks on a workable mark and hasn't been with current yard for long; respected.
