Made all in a maiden at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on second start and almost all in Listed race at Sandown (7f, good) later last summer; her season ended, however, with last of seven in Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August; good chance she will stay 1m2f; needs to resume progress.

Good front-running performances over 7f the last twice, scoring readily at Wetherby (good to firm) then neck second in Sandown Listed contest (good) that has occasionally been a source of subsequent Prestige Stakes winners; another big run looks plausible.

Beat nothing special at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) last time but did it readily and may improve further; chance would increase if she's again able to dominate.

By Kingman out of Oaks winner Anapurna; favourite for all three starts and won on debut; second since in Newmarket Listed races over 1m (good to soft) in November and 1m2f (good to firm) 13 days ago, in the latter behind a runaway winner in six-runner field with Esna just over a length back in fourth; better form claims than most and still some potential.

By Kingman out of Oaks winner Anapurna; overcame greenness to win five-runner novice at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; 11-8) last month, slowly away but leading inside the final 1f; has stacks of potential and her stable won this race in 2023.

Fighting fit, having beaten Ellusive Butterfly by a neck at Kempton (1m) on AW/seasonal debut; however, now worse off with that rival and balance of form suggests she's unlikely to follow up in this field.

She could do with settling better now up in trip for her reappearance but the removal of cheekpieces could help; went close in 7f nursery at Goodwood last July before respectable fifth of seven in 7f Group 3 there in August when last seen; entitled to respect on her first AW start.

Form & Verdict
All three starts as 2yo were on soft; green in front in 7f novice win at Sandown against a notable rival; about 2l fourth of eight when an outsider for 1m Group 1 Marcel Boussac at Longchamp, keeping on well while never able to threaten seriously the lead; fair chance she'll stay 1m2f, judged on that, even if pedigree (sire sprinter) casts doubts on her Oaks entry; clear top on form.

All three starts as 2yo were on soft, winning a Sandown novice but far better form (the best in this field) when about 2l fourth of eight in 1m Group 1 Marcel Boussac at Longchamp, keeping on well while never able to threaten seriously; fair chance she'll stay 1m2f, judged on that, but she didn't show it when a never-dangerous fourth of six in Newmarket Listed race (good to firm; just over 1l behind Sacred Ground) 13 days ago; hopefully she'll have come on significantly from that run.

It was a valuable C&D maiden (soft) for fillies in which she was beaten 2l into second behind a favourite who had shown plenty on her Newmarket debut; stable's juveniles usually improve lots for their first run so this Starman half-sister to five winners should be hard to beat.

Form & Verdict
Made all in one 1m novice as a 2yo and very nearly did so in another; 11-1 fourth of ten in Listed race here (1m, good to soft; Sacred Ground was second) on final start illustrated some limitations, sticking to her task well as if this longer trip would suit but, despite the Oaks entry, she probably has serious work to do in this company too.
