Lightly raced 3yo who was sold out of William Haggas's yard for 6,000gns on July 1 and has proved to be a bargain buy for new connections, making it 2-2 for current yard when winning big-field fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); today's assignment demands further improvement but she's clearly thriving and is not ruled out.

Won her novice over C&D (good) for William Haggas whom she left for 6,000gns; that looks a bargain after she emerged from last to first when denying Shallow over 6f at Newmarket 11 days ago; that was quite taking and she could still be nicely treated off 5lb higher.

Struggled in Class 3 event at Glorious Goodwood but quickly back on form when second (Zighy third, Powdering seventh) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago; the fact she's finished in the first three (including two wins) on six of her eight C&D visits provides hope that she can back that up now.

Struggled in Class 3 event at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, but she's a C&D winner who was runner-up here (6f, good to firm; first-time visor) on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and her last three wins have been under George Wood.

Races prominently; behind some of these in a 7f handicap at the Newmarket July meeting but the visor went on back there 11 days ago and, in a 6f handicap she'd won the previous year, she beat all bar late player Sing The Blues; her close third behind Bintaryana at York in June is another key piece of form that heightens interest.

Versatile ground-wise and she recorded her ninth win when bouncing with a comfortable success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June; creditable third (Shallow second) there in July; not at best latest (Newmarket again) but the fact she won this race from an identical mark last year makes her a dangerous one to discount.

Form & Verdict
Has a very good C&D record with three wins (all good to firm) last term; had dipped below her last winning mark when attempting to make it four three weeks ago, so her sixth of seven behind Powdering was underwhelming; dropped a further 2lb and she's not readily dismissed.

Her form can be up and down and she has something to find now up in grade, but she won a handicap by 3l at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and her trainer has been a dab hand with female sprinters over the years, so it's possible she will be capable of better still; 2-2 here (6f, good/soft).

Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly.

Form & Verdict
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, sound turf and AW) and she completed her season with very creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; look for market interest ahead of this reappearance.
