Never at the races when noticeably weak in the market on AW debut but was sent off favourite at Newmarket next time (6f, good) and duly bolted up; limitations seemingly exposed when beaten just over 5l into fourth (Pretty Crystal over 2l ahead in second) in the Group 3 Princess Margaret at Ascot (6f, good again) since but it is still early days; first attempt at 7f.

Struggled to have a serious say in Group 2/3 assignments last season after winning her novice at Newmarket; has looked very much at home on soft ground and it's slightly concerning that by far her worst performance was on good, albeit over 6f and on debut; still, entitled to make a better 3yo and trainer has no doubt targeted this race.

Hard to know what she achieved form-wise on Haydock debut (6f, good to firm; 28-1), where the winner was in a different league, but she did overcome a very slow start to take a late second; can be more wised up this time and play a part.
