Pulled too hard in a pair 5f AW nurseries at Newcastle at the end of 2025 but settled better ridden with restraint on her recent reappearance there (5f again), keeping on to finish a close fifth of 11, with the reopposing Fille Unique third; entitled to come on for the run and should be on the premises.

Landed 6f Chelmsford AW novice for Simon and Ed Crisford as 2yo; shaped encouragingly for new stable when in the frame on Southwell AW and at Musselburgh but raced too freely when last of eight at Redcar (5f) last time; blinkers are reached for (tongue-tie also refitted); could bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Left her first three efforts for Iain Jardine behind when winning over 6f at Newcastle 16 days ago; the way she got on top towards the finish doesn't suggest she's crying out for this drop to 5f for the first time but the fact she's a last-time-out winner counts for something.

Closely matched with Oasis Diamond on their Catterick clash (5f) and didn't quite see out the 6f (good to soft) back there last week when 5lb well in; new mark has since kicked in but, back at 5f, she should go close.
