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.

Just one win from 17 starts but he reached the frame on numerous occasions over 2m/2m1f in July-October last year; ended 2025 on a low note but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs watching in market after five months off.
