200,000gns breeze-up 2yo; well held in her first four starts but she found lots of improvement upped to 1m4f when an easy winner of a Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) last month; this is a different test on quicker ground but a 6lb rise looks fair and she's a half-sister to a Listed winner on good to firm; major player.
