Fresh cheekpieces may have helped when she took advantage of a reduced mark to open her account at Catterick (6f, good to firm) one week ago; up 6lb but started quickly to make all that day so has to be feared with the potential to bag the favoured stands' rail if clearing Jane Of The Jungle; yet to be tested on ground worse than good but her dam recorded best effort on soft.

Promising juvenile who won Chelmsford maiden (AW; second start) in June and fairly valuable Salisbury novice (again 6f, good to firm) three weeks later; signed off last term with solid handicap third but worryingly she finished last in both starts this spring; drops in grade with blinkers given a whirl and needs to prove she's trained on.
