Inconsistent filly but on a dangerous mark on this year's best form, notably an unlucky second in the 3yo Dash at Epsom; others look stronger for win purposes all the same.

Set a good early gallop and went again when challenged at Brighton last time; there's other pace in here though and, while she's fine on Tapeta, this is more competitive off a 5lb higher mark for a yard also responsible for Adalida.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the drop to 5f when 1.5l too strong for Call Margot over C&D in February; defied a 7lb rise when narrowly winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago, form that was given a handsome boost when the runner-up won at Lingfield on Good Friday; another 4lb higher today but there could well be more in the tank and her attitude will continue to stand her in good stead.

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice over C&D before winning a 5f novice at Wolverhampton in October (when trained by Alice Haynes; picked up for 20,000gns by new connections one month later); remains open to further progress but the absence of her usual tongue tie sounds a note of caution.
