Made all in a 1m novice as a 2yo and very nearly did so in another; comfortably held in Listed races on her last two appearances, latterly when tongue tied and essentially disappointing at Newmarket (1m2f; first run on ground quicker than good); it asks a lot of her to bounce back in a race of this nature.
