Useful 5f form as a 3yo, inching forward again when gaining a narrow win over Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts on good) last September; she was entitled to need the run behind Night Raider at Newmarket in April but a big advance on her form is needed.

Down the field from a poor draw in the Group 1 Abbaye at Longchamp in October but had previously confirmed herself an improving 3yo when beating Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts well on good); has hopes of doing better as a 4yo but this is a tough start to the year.

Cork Listed win in May was followed by a good run in a Group 2 at Haydock 18 days later; subsequent efforts leave her with a bit to prove at this level.

Equally effective at 5f and 6f and has given her running on every start this year, fifth in Group 3 at York on latest; has a bit to find with one or two of these but she may not have reached her ceiling just yet and she will not be inconvenienced if the rain arrives.
