Talented mare but she needs things to fall right, as evidenced by her last win coming in July 2024; after a solid start to this year's campaign she couldn't justify favouritism when third in Pontefract Listed event (1m, good; Crystal Flyer second) in July and made no impact in Ascot Group 3 18 days later; narrowly sets the standard, however, and she should be finishing off well in her bid to better last year's third place in this race.
