Bumper winner who outran her 125-1 odds when fourth of six in Group 3 at York (1m6f, good to firm) in July on her second Flat start; another very respectable run when fifth of seven at 100-1 in the Group 2 Doncaster Cup (2m2f, good) recently; drops back in grade here and she might not be far away.

Bumper winner who was likely flattered in 1m6f Group 3 at York (staying-on fourth of six) on penultimate start; comprehensively turned over at 4-9 in a three-runner Carlisle novice (1m3f) on latest, failing by a long way to back up the York form; that suggests bleak prospects in this, surely.

Twelfth foal, by Blue Point; closely related to three winners including Qaraaba (7f-1m2f including US Grade 3; RPR 109) and Salsada (1m2f Flat, 96; 2m1f/2m4f hurdle), half-sister to four more including Kifaah (6f/7f; 103) and Mubaraza (1m5f-2m; 106); dam 1m4f winner (86); stable having a great year and she's one for the shortlist on this debut.

Handed a wide draw and similar form in two 7f AW Kempton novices in the spring, latterly third of nine at the end of May; absent since but turf no problem on pedigree and she can likely do better; market interest would boost her case.
