Achieved little across her three starts towards end of last year but she's from a respected Lambourn yard and goes handicapping off a basement mark; no surprise if she takes a big step forward, especially if well backed.

Showed little in three AW novices last back-end but much improved when making a winning turf/handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May; she should be able to cope with a 5lb rise and looks the one to beat.

Took a step forward when sent off favourite and runner-up on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) last Monday; runs off the same mark today and he's a major player if transferring his improvement back to better ground.
