Confirmed the promise of her first two starts when dictating the pace to her advantage in a 6f maiden on Lingfield AW in April; open to improvement now handicapping back on turf but she refused to go in the stalls at the start of the month and there'll be no easy lead on a plate today.

Several creditable efforts this summer before getting back on the scoresheet with a strong finish over C&D (good; second-time cheekpieces) last week; this is tougher under a penalty but that was a personal best last time and she should get a good tow into this race; respected.

2-2 in 2yo campaign, both wins coming last July (5f, good); then absent until 11-2 favourite and merely mid-division in competitive 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) in May; needs to leave that run well behind but she retains potential for her top yard; no surprise to see a big performance.
