Form & Verdict
Well-bred filly, by Kingman out of a sister to Irish Derby and St Leger winner Capri; unbeaten in two starts, both in a hood over 7f at Newmarket (good/good to firm); debut success came on the July course, then followed up in the Rockfel on this track two weeks ago, again drawing clear in the closing stages; should be well suited by this extra furlong; yard has won this contest five times; top rated and commands major respect.

First two 2yo starts (won debut) were on good to firm; second in both the Group 1 Fillies' Mile as 2yo and in the Musidora here on reappearance; down the field in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly but made the most of having her sights lowered in Listed race at Newmarket last month, leading 2f out and drawing nearly 5l clear; moving up to 1m4f clearly suited that day but this opposition demands better still.

Highly tried after making a successful debut last summer, her second-place finishes in the Fillies' Mile (1m, good) and behind Soul Sister in the Musidora (1m2f, good) standing out; may not have enjoyed the run of the race when down the field in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) last month, but back in much calmer waters here and her pedigree suggests she could even improve for the longer trip.

Bags of promise over 7f in August, winning maiden on the other course here (good to firm) by 9l then finishing third in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (good to soft) where she finished nicely from a poor position following a tardy start; open to any amount of further progress upped to 1m; very interesting.

Form & Verdict
Did her winning at Class 5 level prior to showing massive improvement in the May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) where she belied her 40-1 odds and beat Novakai, though was fortunate that some of the market leaders failed to show their form and she's a below-average winner of that race; now goes into even deeper waters but is on a roll and deserves credit for running up a sequence; it'll be a great story if she pulls off the five-timer.

Back on track when third in Lingfield Oaks Trial (1m4f, AW) on last month's reappearance; that performance, and her earlier form, suggests she's vulnerable today but she's unexposed at this trip and stable's 3yos are often worth a second look at this meeting; she's no forlorn hope each-way.
