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.

Won on debut here (5f, good) in June and runner-up the next twice, on nursery debut at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) on the second occasion; disappointing at Newmarket since but failed to settle when upped in trip on that first encounter with fast ground; retains potential and could bounce back.

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.

Took a good step forward when winning at Leicester (good) in April and made light of an 8lb rise with emphatic win at Haydock (also 7f, soft) the following month; a 10lb rise looked to anchor her in two subsequent starts, however, and she's just 2lb lower now.
