Quiet at about 2m over hurdles before going up to 3m on handicap debut at Southwell, a trip she might not have stayed; she's still got plenty to prove.

Beaten a long way in her three qualifying runs around 2m (good to soft/heavy) this winter but her yard has been among the winners in recent days and she's one to monitor closely in the betting now handicapping over a significantly longer trip.
