Produced a career-best effort when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) by 3¾ lengths from Violet Goldsmith 7 days ago, coming off bridle early but proving strong in the finish. Has to be taken seriously despite carrying a penalty.

Verdict
Thrice-raced maiden who was sixth of 13 in quite a deep novice at Kempton (1m, 80/1) 23 days ago though wasn't knocked about. She's the type to improve now handicapping and the booking of Oisin Murphy is an obvious plus.
