She made a pleasing start to her career when running on well for fifth at Lingfield (1m AW) last August, recording the fastest final-furlong split; unable to build on it at Goodwood one month later but that was 1m2f on heavy ground; still has potential and she returns to action in an ordinary maiden.

Just five races, the first two for James Tate; runner-up three times, including on handicap debut in nine-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) five weeks ago; return to 7f may well be fine and he's relatively unexposed, but taking on so many rivals from almost the widest draw asks a major question.

Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable.

Kept on for third over this C&D on her handicap debut, doing best of those from off the pace, and posted another solid effort when fourth at Beverley (8.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago; good claims back on AW.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

Following a long layoff she's been down the field in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) and a Lingfield handicap (1m, Polytrack) on her two runs this year; however, she remains very lightly raced and she showed plenty of promise here in October 2024; yard in fine form; no surprise to see a big run.

She finished second at Southwell (7f) on her second 2yo run but there are question marks over the value of that form; should come on for last month's return from a long absence and stepping up in trip should be a help judged on her pedigree; unexposed.
