Made a very promising start to her career at Newmarket last year, winning a July Course maiden on soft before second to Midnight Mile (won a York Listed race recently) in the Group 3 Oh So Sharp (7f, good) on the Rowley Course; it's taken a while to get her back to the track but she returns with her yard in flying form; the stable has a few smart fillies' around this trip and it will be very interesting to see how much strength there is behind her in the betting.

Began the campaign with two heavy defeats but she was reinvigorated by cheekpieces at York last month and hit a major new high in them in a Group 3 at this track (6f) eight days later, winning at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; fine chance if that form is repeated but, although she ran three times over 7f in 2022, she's not crying out for a return to this trip on the recent evidence.
