J: Oisin Murphy

T: Michael Bell

Proved a useful sprinter last season, notably winning over 5f at Glorious Goodwood in the summer and over 6f at Newmarket (good-ground Listed contest) final outing; finished in front of Venetian Sun when creditable eighth in the 1,000 Guineas on her reappearance; while she shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 6f it remains to be seen whether she can confirm that superiority over Karl Burke's filly at the shorter distance.

T: Michael Bell

Proved a useful sprinter last season, notably winning over 5f at Glorious Goodwood in the summer and over 6f at Newmarket (beat Azleet in good-ground Listed contest) final outing; not an obvious 1,000 Guineas player, with doubts over the new trip and the deeper waters (she's a stone below the standard required).

9st 2lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Michael Bell

Won at this track (5f, good to firm) on debut in May and was also successful in a conditions event at Glorious Goodwood; found things tough in the Nunthorpe in August but she really kicked on again with her eyecatching fourth in a Group 3 here (5f, good) three weeks ago; was strong at the finish in that race and she sets the standard on this step back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Ran a strange race over C&D on her debut 19 days ago (good to soft), showing bright speed early but losing her position 2f out and then running very green; kept on again late and she could prove a different proposition with the run behind her.

Two runs at Newmarket this spring, green when third on debut and then bumping into a promising newcomer at the Guineas meeting; sets the standard and should be bang there once more.

Form & Verdict
January foal; 65,000euros foal, 140,000euros yearling; first foal of a sprint winner in Italy (including 2yo), herself a half-sister to some useful sprinters; quite a precocious pedigree and market confidence usually a good sign for newcomers from this yard.

Prominent in the betting but run to just a modest level in two turf runs three months apart; hood could help, as could the return to 5f, but she's not a solid option.
