Has improved her rating every time in seven-race career, including handicap wins this summer at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm) and Salisbury (1m4f, good); asserted in clearcut style when ridden by 7lb claimer last time and has to be in serious calculations despite 5lb rise.

Five-race maiden but she was runner-up here on her debut last year and in a novice at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; latest effort on her handicap debut is worth forgiving having raced wide after her blindfold was removed late, and she should still have more to offer.

Runner-up sole start at two; much her best effort when stepped up to 1m4f here a fortnight ago (again found just one too good); potential improver now handicapping and William Buick, who is 22% for the yard in the last five years, is a positive booking.

Promising second on her debut at Yarmouth last October and reappeared with an 8l fifth of ten at Sandown (1m2f, good) in a race won by the subsequent Musidora runner-up; ran to a similar level when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, soft) in May when last seen and leaves the impression this longer trip will suit.

Entered in the Oaks, which her half-sister Soul Sister won for her connections in 2023; close second and clear of remainder at Kempton (1m, AW) in sole 2yo run, faring best of the newcomers; a winner waiting to happen and her yard has a good record in this race.

Sea The Stars half-sister to the same connections' Oaks winner Soul Sister; arrives on an upward curve after easy novice win at Lingfield and unlucky second in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; stayed on well after being short of room); plenty to find on bare form in this higher grade but she should be well suited by this step up in trip and cannot be discounted.
