Progressive 3yo who started 2024 with a 7f win at the Curragh (soft) and went down only narrowly in a 1m Listed race at Navan (good) in June; subsequent ninth of 30 in the Sandringham (1m) at Royal Ascot on final start for Johnny Murtagh suggests handicapping limitations now and she'll need to improve for the return to 7f on debut for new yard.

Dual 2yo winner but an improved filly this year who ran well in pushing Everlasting all the way in a 1m good-ground Listed race at Navan; it's unlikely that a repeat of that form will suffice in a strong Sandringham but there's progress in her profile and Australian connections snapped her up for £200,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday.

Hasn't added to Naas 2yo maiden debut win although good run when second in this race last year and fourth in Group 3 at Deauville (1m); nowhere near her best in two outings this term, soft ground against her last time; bit to prove now.

Lightly raced; won Naas 2yo maiden and solid form at stakes level last season, notably second in Group 3 over C&D and staying on fourth in Group 3 at Deauville (1m) in August; tailed off in first-time cheekpieces behind Mutasarref on return; looks stable second string.
