Form & Verdict
British raider is 2-6, her wins coming last season in a Yarmouth novice and a class 4 handicap at York off 83; signed off with a Listed third in Italy and ran a blinder on her seasonal return in the Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot when not getting the clearest of runs; her official rating of 92 may underestimate her and she could outrun her likely odds.

Won debut on good to soft, no impression in her one race on soft; 1m1f handicap winner here last September and, having finished well for fourth of 24 over 1m this season at Royal Ascot, she ran on into second of eight when trying 1m2f again in Group 3 at the Curragh on latest outing; races a bit freely but her dam was pretty useful at this trip; each-way form chance.

Back on the up with a comfortable York handicap win (1m1f, good) off 9lb lower last September and ended her campaign with a good third of nine in 1m Listed race in Italy; has raced only on good or softer when on turf; lightly raced enough to think she may have more to offer this season.

Useful on her day; highly tried and not at best so far this year, but she ran respectably when never-nearer fourth of eight in Irish Group 3 (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; moves into unknown territory trip-wise but her pedigree gives hope that she'll stay and this is a drop in grade.

Dual Listed winner, including over 1m at Newmarket (good to firm; Arisaig third) in September; finished 10l adrift of Jancis on return in May but latest tenth of 12 in Curragh Group 2 (1m, good) is better than it reads, having been tapped for toe then getting no room when launching a rally; still likely to find a few too good.

4yo who has raced only five times, winning three of them (including on Polytrack; unraced on Tapeta); improved again to land 1m2f Listed race at Haydock and, while Diamond Rain has stronger form, this filly is certainly progressive and could yet scale loftier heights.

Made it 2-4 when scoring easily on this month's handicap and seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm; unraced on slow ground); had just three rivals to beat and takes a steep rise in grade today, but this half-sister to her stable's Group 1 winner Dreamloper could have plenty more to offer.
