Her form can be up and down and she has something to find now up in grade, but she won a handicap by 3l at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and her trainer has been a dab hand with female sprinters over the years, so it's possible she will be capable of better still; 2-2 here (6f, good/soft).

Sole win from 11 starts came on the AW at Southwell in April, but she was unlucky not to press the progressive Naana's Shadow even closer in the 3yo dash at Epsom (5f, good); hasn't matched that level in three starts since but drops in grade and a strong pace would suit this headstrong filly.
