We purchased her at Tattersalls as a yearling in October 2023; we put her on the track on the Lingfield turf in July and she quietly progressed in Maiden company as she went up in trip; her first Nursery run was over eight furlongs at Yarmouth in the middle of September and she ran an excellent race just not quite getting up after being slightly short of room mid race and over two out. She went up in trip again to ten furlong in a competitive quite good class Chelmsford Nursery in the second week of October; she ran out a ready winner, staying on stoutly and always does enough close home.

She is a nice filly who will improve again as she goes up in trip and should make up into a real nice middle distance filly in 2025 and 2026.
