Stepped up on last month's Chepstow debut (6f, good) by finishing fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); may not come into her own until tackling 7f+ but she's likely to carry on progressing.

First foal; dam 10.5f-1m6f winner (including Listed; RPR 106), sister to 1m4f Listed winner Baby Pink, half-sister to smart 1m-1m3f winner Christophermarlowe; probably won't be seen to best effect until tackling longer trips but riding arrangements suggests she's the pick of Ollie Sangster's three runners in this.

Built on her stable debut with a narrow success at Windsor in July, but didn't find much off the bridle after travelling well when fourth of seven at Doncaster (again 1m, good to firm) last month; that effort suggests this drop to 7f could suit; wing draw but she's respected.
