Well-bred filly; took a while to get the hang of things but she took a good step forward when upped to 1m6f and fitted with a hood at Southwell three weeks ago, running out the 7l winner of a 0-55 event; up 10lb and has another 2f to travel today but surprising if she has reached her ceiling yet.

Shaped well when keeping on from well off the pace in a 1m handicap at Kempton last month; ridden more positively upped to 1m2f at Chelmsford 15 days ago and a reluctance to settle contributed to her weak finishing effort; dropped 3lb and still not fully exposed.

She had signalled a breakthrough might be coming and it duly did in four-runner event at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) on Thursday; can probably cope with this drop back in trip but a 5lb penalty for that nose success does make life harder; still respected.
