Showed minor promise as a juvenile and stepped up on that when narrowly beaten at Goodwood (1m, soft) earlier this month; should be in the mix if she can raise the bar again over this longer trip.

Made a significant step up on her debut effort but was still beaten more than 10l in a Newmarket fillies' maiden (1m2f, good) recently, when she was held up and raced freely; she is at least going the right way and pedigree hints that she'll handle slow ground; player.

Got the better of Pique at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on her handicap debut in June and she's 4lb better off with that rival today; no progress for cheekpieces the last twice and now gets blinkers; stamina won't be an issue but yet to tackle slower than good.

500,000gns yearling; 15-8 on debut at Ascot last September (1m, good) but finished a 12l third of five; taken out of intended reappearance at Salisbury due to unsuitable (soft) ground, so slow conditions here may again be a concern; may be capable of a significant step up if taking her chance.

Did not live up to her pedigree when beaten 14l+ in three novice/maiden races this spring (1m2f-1m4f) but represents a top stable and remains very unexposed; no surprise if she makes the necessary improvement on this handicap debut.
