Form & Verdict
Half-sister to five winners including Circumvent (6f-1m2f including 2yo Group 3; RPR 112); finished a remote fourth of eight at Newbury (1m, good) last month but that was behind a subsequent Listed winner and she showed plenty of promise with her debut third at Newmarket in April; that initial form puts her firmly in the picture and she's a key player.

Made all in a Chepstow maiden (1m, good) and picked off the front two for a successful handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm); not sure that told us a great deal (the runner-up is now high in the weights after a prolific season) but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world and she's in the right hands to keep progressing.

Limited action so far but she ended 2025 in fine fettle, finding plenty to win a 7f Leicester novice (good) and was not at all hard pressed to win on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); useful comeback run when runner-up on Southwell AW in April and should come on for the outing; further improvement likely.

Held as favourite in the last two of her four runs, but she went close at Newcastle (1m, AW) in May and her latest third at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) was behind two smart prospects; has leading claims back in calmer waters and her form has been generally progressive so far.
