Ran with promise on all 3 starts last season, culminating in good second of 10 in novice over C&D in October. Likely more to come this term and makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut.

Off the mark at third time of asking in 12-runner maiden over C&D in November. Goes handicapping on return and we may not have seen the best of her yet.

Acquitted herself well in both starts this term, latest when close second of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (6f) 10 days ago, running on. Looks well worth another crack at this longer trip.
