Remained a maiden after seven starts for Owen Burrows (beaten favourite in all four handicap starts for former yard this season); purchased for 35,0000gns last month and it wasn't a bad stable debut when a 5l fourth of 11 at Naas (6f, good, 16-1) last time.

Just one win from 12 attempts, but she hasn't been long with her current yard and she seemed unsuited by the drop back to 5f when a never-nearer fourth of eight at Catterick ten days ago; looks well handicapped and the return to 7f should be right up her street.
