Won at Newmarket (7f, good) last October on second start and kept on for third on reappearance in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn there (7f, good) last month; this half-sister to Group 1 Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang is open to further improvement now tackling 1m and could have a part to play.

3,700,000gns yearling; half-sister to a Fillies' Mile winner; favourite for C&D maidens last autumn, finishing third behind Mubasimah then responding to pressure to get the job done (on good ground) next time, despite still seeming green; a potential Group filly, given her profile, and commands respect.

Not obviously well handicapped on the form she showed in four maiden/novice events over 6f/7f last year, so will need to return from a five-month break with an improved effort.

Found the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes all too much for her on her reappearance but she left it behind on her handicap debut, enjoying a charmed run up the inside to score comfortably in a C&D handicap 24 days ago; up 5lb and drawn even wider today; another career best is required.

Returns to a more realistic level on handicap debut, having faced a stiff task (well beaten) in the Nell Gwyn on reappearance; sole 6f attempt resulted in ready win at Southwell (AW) in final 2yo outing; unexposed over this distance.
