Won her first two starts for Ruth Carr, at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) and Ripon (5f, good), but she folded rather tamely under a penalty at Beverley two weeks ago; another 3lb higher today.

2-2 since joining Ruth Carr, winning 5f handicaps at Thirsk last month and at Ripon last week; penalty for the latest small-field success demands more and a double-figure stall isn't ideal either.

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

She'd run some good races in defeat this year for the Newland/Insole yard prior to being sold for 12,000gns last month, and she exploited a reduced mark on her stable debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); she had just a neck to spare and is back up 4lb but could have more to offer for the yard.
