100,000gns yearling, a sister to the 6f 2yo winner Ribhi (RPR 99); raced freely and weakened on last month's Yarmouth debut (6f maiden fillies; seventh of eight, 4-1); this drop back in trip should suit, but the forecast rain mightn't necessarily aid; stablemate of Whisperwood.

Pulled hard when below market expectations on her debut but was more amenable down to 5f when off the mark at Bath (again good to firm) five weeks ago, for Ollie Sangster; picked up at the sales for 105,000gns 13 days ago and remains open to improvement for her new yard.
