Yet to win a handicap, but plenty of solid placed efforts and conditions will suit.

Progressing well this season and didn't run badly in a Cheltenham class 2 latest; player.
3	Klassy Pearl Bay J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	J:Richard Patrick T:Clive Boultbee-Brooks	156	—	22-462	107	114	87	22d	—	—	+3	18.9	—	9/2 18%
Going the right way and remains with potential, but this opening mark is no gift.

Disappointing on latest but she's hard to ignore on handicap debut for her top stable.
