Form & Verdict
Had an excellent 2024, winning Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and Group 3 event at Deauville, both over 1m; down the field at the Breeders' Cup when last seen in November; probably needed the run on her only previous AW start; she's the pick on ratings and the one to beat.

Very useful filly; successful over 1m at Royal Ascot (handicap) and Deauville (Group 3) last term and Kempton (AW Listed) on reappearance; came up short returned to Royal Ascot (Group 2) last time but commands respect, even with a 3lb penalty, back down in grade.

All three wins (from 12 starts) have been on the AW, on which she made a quiet reappearance back in late March; however, she was only pipped in this race 12 months ago (on good) and was again runner-up here after a break in September (soft); if rediscovering any of that form then she'd have a part to play.
