Raced prominently when both a C&D winner (good to soft) in a fillies' novice event in April and when adding another win on her handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) next time, when 1lb higher; has not been able to get close to that form in four more starts, but off this mark she's not written off back here.

Three poor efforts since two wins in the spring, latterly when a remote last of three at Haydock; again pulled hard there and perhaps the drop from 7f, coming out of stall 1 today, will help, but she has it to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten last autumn on first two starts (6f/7f, good/AW) and considerable improvement is needed, but this 225,000euros yearling is in good hands and she's one to watch in the betting on reappearance.

Progressive on turf last summer and she's improved again on AW this winter, winning at Southwell (1m) in December before a C&D third behind Shades Of Summer and Nine Tenths on New Year's Day; better off at the weights with both those fillies here; should make a bold bid.

First foal; dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 79) from useful family; there's potential in her pedigree and the market could be informative on debut.

Promise when second of eight in a 6f maiden at Doncaster in May on her second start; has not matched it since, over trips ranging from 5f to 7f, and although she met some trouble here 16 days ago, she wasn't doing anything in a hurry at the time; step up in trip needs to spark extra.

Her second at Doncaster (6f, soft) in May stands out a mile from her other four performances; beaten about 12l over 7f (Tapeta/turf) when going handicapping on last two starts; now tries headgear.
