Won three handicaps in a row (1m/7f, good/good to firm) prior to respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) a fortnight ago; further improvement is necessary up in grade but this 3yo's pedigree suggests the step up in trip could be a plus and she's not discounted.

Has completely taken off lately, completing the hat-track when winning at Newbury (7f, good to firm); up another 6lb, but that latest form has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second and fourth (twice); well drawn and very likely to make her presence felt; yard won this in 2021.
