9st 0lb |
Very useful 6f filly last term, winning Group 3 at Ascot then running creditably in two Group 1 races; absent since folding tamely and well held in strongly run 1,000 Guineas six months ago (33-1); still needs to prove she stays 1m but this easier test looks more suitable; leading chance on ratings. |

Useful over 6f at two, winning the Princess Margaret at Ascot (Group 3; beat Pretty Crystal by 3l) then making the frame at Group 1 level in the Morny (behind Ramatuelle) and Cheveley Park (behind Porta Fortuna); however, her rating is well below the required standard in this field and the extra 2f presents a question mark (mixed messages in pedigree). |

9st 2lb |
Gamely won the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f, good) in April; best to forgive her 1,000 Guineas defeat but it's harder to excuse her Group 3 effort (6f) last time; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |

Beaten in major races won by Porta Fortuna, Sacred Angel and Darnation last summer but looked an improved filly in the Nell Gwyn here (7f, good) on reappearance, gamely beating Dance Sequence by a neck; supplemented for this contest at a cost of £30,000; may well build on her trial win provided she stays the new trip (mixed messages in pedigree on that score). |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Third in two 2yo Group races last summer and she'd be of interest if rediscovering that form, but she's struggled on her three starts this season and a major turnaround is required. |
16/1 |

26th 5 (7) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won a fillies' novice at York on her debut last July (6f, good); acquitted herself with credit in Group races afterwards, best effort when a close third in the Lowther at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); has a fair bit to prove after two modest runs in Listed races this season. |
66/1 |

6th 7 (8) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won debut at York last July; down the field on last three starts, always in rear in Newbury Listed race on return; has something to prove and needs the drop from 6f (all starts) to 5f to have a positive effect. |

26th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

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; that wasn't a strong race by July Course standards but a Lowther entry would suggest there's more to come from her. |

Top yard but easy to back 8-1 shot for 6f Kempton AW debut 23 days ago where she conceded ground at the start and was never really on an even keel; should come on for the experience but has some learning to do. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Disappointing in sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, soft) in September but lost her right-hind shoe; showed promise on soft/very soft ground in the spring before respectable summer efforts in two Group 3 races (6f, good to firm/good), and no surprise if she bounces back with a big performance. |

Won at Redcar (soft) in the spring; fairly useful RPRs at Listed/Group level since, the peak one achieved in the Albany at Royal Ascot where she finished sixth; place possibilities off bottom weight. |

Outran her 40-1 odds in Listed grade at Newmarket (6f) on second outing; hasn't backed up that form in two Group races since and current rating may flatter her; drop back in grade is the main cause for optimism. |

12th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

All runs over 6f on good or faster; narrow Windsor winner who was no match for a good Godolphin filly here before finishing down the field in a Group 3 at Ascot's King George meeting; looks vulnerable. |

21st Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

It wasn't a strong maiden that she won at Chepstow on debut in July (6f, good to soft) and she hasn't progressed since; likely vulnerable once more on this AW debut. |

6th 4 (10) |
26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f Chepstow winner on debut (good to soft) and fair run when seventh in Ascot Group 3 next time (6f, good); hung right when third at Windsor last time (6f, good, showed plenty of speed); interesting on first run at 5f. |
5/1 |

5th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |

Ready winner of a 6f maiden at Chepstow on her debut in July; couldn't cope with Group 3 company next time but she ran creditably at Windsor three weeks ago (6f, good); drop to 5f shouldn't be an issue; considered. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Cost 300,000gns as a yearling and half-sister to a Group 1 winner; swept from near last to first when looking good at Thirsk (6f, good) and raced far too freely when performing below market expectations in a Group 3 at Ascot; easy to give her another chance. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Cost 300,000gns as a yearling and half-sister to a Group 1 winner; holes can be picked in the form of her Thirsk win (6f, good; ground changed to good to soft in places straight after) but she swept from near last to first en route to a clearcut win and looked decidedly useful; respected. |

1st 5 (11) |
20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

300,000gns yearling; half-sister to seven winners, notably Group 1 winner Anmaat (RPR 123); dam a maiden (26), sister to 1m6f Group 3 winner Mkuzi; likely type on paper and yard off the mark with their 2yos this season. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Essentially disappointing given how smart she looked at Goodwood in May, having since trailed home last in the 7f Chesham at Royal Ascot and managed only fifth in last week's Super Sprint (5f, good to soft); would be a surprise winner. |
25/1 |

5th 14 (2) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Looked very good when comfortably brushing aside subsequent winners at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) and put a line through her Chesham run (7f) as she got upset during the preliminaries; entered in the Group 1 Moyglare but that's over 7f and she's unraced over 5f; not discounted. |
14/1 |

16th 13 (17) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
New Bay filly who scored comfortably at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago, building on Newmarket debut promise and showing strong form (next three home have won since); already a leading player on the figures and the longer distance should aid further development. |
