Form & Verdict
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.

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.

T: Brian Meehan

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.

575,000gns foal who's a half-sister to four winners, notably Ambition (1m2f-1m4f, including French Group 2), out of the yard's Oaks winner Talent; followed debut promise by justifying 5-6 favouritism in seven-runner maiden at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) in October; this grade should be a very different proposition for her but it's the same for most of this field.
