Form & Verdict
Third foal from a 6f-1m juvenile winner (including Italian Group 3; RPR 102); half-sister to two winners, most notably Marhaba Ashmayme (1m; 88); trainer Kevin Ryan is operating a 16% strike-rate with his juveniles in 2023; market helpful in assessing her chance.

Hasn't threatened in first two handicaps (5f, AW) but has had wind op since last start in February and that may help her tap back into the promise of her first two runs last year (5f, good to firm/AW); contender if so.

Form & Verdict
Took a significant step forward when springing a 33-1 surprise over C&D (novice; good to soft) a fortnight ago; carries a penalty for that success but her trainer has enjoyed a successful season with his juveniles; there may be more to come from her.

Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Went through the ring for 1,800,000gns as a yearling; dam was a modest - well-related - performer who produced none other than the multiple Group 1 winning speedster Battaash (5f; RPR 129) and also The Antarctic (5f-6f Group 3; 111); has to be taken seriously on debut in this kind of company.

Inexperience evident on recent debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) when weak 9-2 chance and 5l fourth of seven; however, the penny started to drop late on and this 1.8m gns yearling, who is a half-sister to superstar sprinter Battaash, is open to considerable improvement; interesting.

Left her previous form behind when scoring at Pontefract (5f fillies' maiden, good to soft; 12-1) last month; penalised but that form line was given a boost when the runner-up was successful at Hamilton this week; merits respect.

Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back.
