2nd in cheekpieces two starts ago (1m3f, soft); below form blinkered latest; now visored

Beaten a neck in novice at Ascot (1m4f, soft) second time; lots of encouragement for 1m6f

Fairly useful form for minor honours first three starts; remote in the Derby and a Group 2

Four starts, easily best form when staying-on third in novice (1m4f, good to firm) in July

A leap forward is needed to win this after belated debut (AW) but she may be capable of it

Debut in late September and she did not show much in that maiden at Southwell (1m3f, AW)
