Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest.

April-foaled 300,000euros yearling who's a half-sister to six winners (one on 2yo debut), notably Court House; trainer's strike-rate with juveniles is down this season so far and the outside stall is never ideal for a newcomer; watch the market.

Unplaced in three fillies' novice/maiden events for William Haggas last summer; absent until returning over 7f here two weeks ago (stable debut), a race where she could only manage sixth but shaped with a fair bit more promise having made an eyecatching move early in the straight; the return to 6f can help and she could take a step forward with that run behind her; one to take seriously.
