Beat a progressive rival to open her account at Carlisle (1m1f, good) three weeks ago, on sixth start; moves up in grade today but her winning performance is backed up by a good Topspeed figure and she might have more to offer over today's extra furlong.

Struck form and won twice on good ground in early August (1m/8.4f); below that level on last two outings but met traffic on first occasion and would have preferred a stronger gallop last time; unexposed over this trip; not ruled out.

Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles.

Overcame troubled passage to gain breakthrough win at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June and drew nicely clear to follow up at Hamilton (8.3f, good) in July; went up 8lb for the second success and had to settle for fifth on AW last time (1m2f) but further progress remains possible.
