Won two of her five races; has carried her head high and flashed tail, but she took steps forward over 9.4f and 1m before running away with a six-runner handicap over 1m2f at Ascot (good to firm) in May; 10lb higher today; further improvement seemed likely but she was non-runner (self certificate) for AW Group 3 in June; not seen since but looked good last time.
