Form & Verdict
Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Kylian (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 109); ran green when 6-1 on Hamilton debut (5f, good) last month but she really got the hang of things in the closing stages and forged clear for a comfortable success; this is tougher under a penalty but that was a bright start and she's strongly respected upped in trip.

Starman filly out of a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner; sent off favourite in both starts and her close second at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) in April was followed by a creditable third of 13 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks later; didn't improve last time but she sets a good standard on her initial form and should be fine on this step up in trip; big player back from a break.

Only fourth of five on 6f Newmarket nursery debut but bounced back with a bang to land a big-field nursery at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, edging ahead late in a style which suggests 7f should be within range; that form has already been boosted and she should remain very competitive off 4lb higher.
