Form & Verdict
Yet to encounter ground softer than good; rather a disappointing favourite in Haydock handicap on latest 1m2f start but she was 2-2 at novice level, including a win here on debut, and may still have more to offer; interesting back at Goodwood, assuming she stays this longer distance; yard has a respectable record in this race.

Won on debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) in May and easily followed up in Windsor novice (1m2f, good) in June; she's a half-sister to her top stable's Group 3 winner Bashkirova and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie; firmly in calculations on handicap debut.

Handicapper caught up after her two 1m4f wins in May 2022 but she continues to run with credit; not proven beyond 1m4f but it now looks worth a go and there are probably no ground worries for her; one of many with place claims.

Only run on good to soft (or softer) was when third in last season's 1m May Hill at Doncaster; no closer than fifth this season, latterly in a similar race over C&D two weeks ago; return to softer ground heightens interest but others appeal more.

Completed a quickfire hat-trick last month, which means she's 3-3 since handicapping and switched to turf; won well each time, most recently at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; Class 5); now upped two grades off a much sterner mark but could well progress further; has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 5321 reflect her steady progress, easily justifying favouritism in Windsor novice event (1m2f, good to soft; form has substance) most recently; could well relish this new trip, being out of a Park Hill winner for her connections; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps; respected.

Lightly raced 5yo who won on good to soft and heavy in previous campaigns and hit top form again when pipped in a 1m4f York handicap on good ground on latest start; dropping back in trip poses something of a question but otherwise she looks set for a big run.
