Improved with each of her four starts, winning a 7f novice at Newcastle in December and adding a 1m handicap at Kempton four weeks ago; had more to spare than the winning margin of a neck might indicate on that occasion and a 5lb rise may not prove insurmountable.

Made it two wins from her four starts when easily winning a Class 3 handicap here (1m1f, good) in May; stamina to prove today and she was only fifth in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last time, but the ground may not have suited and she remains one to be interested in, especially back here.

Regally bred filly but she hasn't lived up to her pedigree in four runs so far; her best effort, namely a short-head second in a 7f fillies' novice, came at this track but she failed to back it up at Newcastle when last seen in November; returns to action in new cheekpieces.
