Backed in from 20-1 to 9-2 when fourth of 14 on her Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) last June; clearly has ability but her absence since is a concern and she isn't crying out for the extra 2f on pedigree.

Yet to score but she's been competitive on plenty of occasions and her third at Kempton (1m, AW) in October reads well; encouraging comeback when beaten 2l over that C&D last month and she didn't get the breaks when third at Windsor (1m, good to firm; Crazee Icon second) last Monday; draw possibly asks a question but she goes off the same mark and looks a leading contender.
