5-7 in 2yo season, a campaign that culminated with Group 3 win at Chantilly (7f, very soft); the drop back in trip could be a positive but she's been well beaten on both starts this season, most recently in the French 1,000 Guineas; carries a 5lb penalty and a major turnaround is needed.

Scopey filly who has got on a roll and wasn't overly pressed to complete her four-timer when making most in a nursery at the St Leger meeting over Doncaster's extended 6f (good to soft; has won on good to firm); gets in here off an advantageous weight having fetched 12,000gns as a yearling; clear claims.

After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect.

Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.
