Form & Verdict
Looked one to follow when readily seeing off seven rivals over 7f here in May; her Royal Ascot defeat over a mile is easy enough to excuse and her other runs this summer all read well enough, closely matched with Angel Shared and Shallow on two pieces of July course form; a well-run 6f would suit and she's an each-way contender at least.

She has done most of her racing on AW but she's shown herself to be fully effective on fast turf this summer, narrowly fending off Arabian Leopard (6f) on the July course in July and running a cracker behind Royal Velvet at York (7f) five weeks ago, tanking along in front and having most of the field off the bridle some way out, only to tire late on; return to 6f won't be an issue but she's one of a number of prominent racers on show; still more appealing than most.
