Form & Verdict
Third on both starts, latterly finishing a neck in front of the reopposing Chealamy at Leicester (7f, good); raced quite freely in front on that occasion and sports a first-time hood now; looks sure to figure prominently but wouldn't be certain to confirm that narrow superiority over James Ferguson's filly.

Out of a half-sister to Oaks/King George winner Taghrooda; unable to land a serious blow in the same 6f Yarmouth maiden the reopposing Chealamy contested on debut but, like than one, she took a step forward when upped to 7f next time, finishing third of 13 at Sandown on good; has a hood added now; open to further progress for a stable with a good record in this.

Usually slowly away but she made virtually all when 50-1 winner of a Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, scoring in clearcut style from Rainbows Edge; that was a huge career best but, under a 3lb penalty, she probably needs better still to follow up.

Daughter of a smart middle-distance winner; never involved on 6f debut but more like it when stepped up to 7f at Leicester since, still exhibiting signs of greenness but keeping on encouragingly for fourth (Vermilion neck ahead in third) of 14; definitely more to come and high on the shortlist.
