Form & Verdict
Lightly raced daughter of Sea The Stars who won a 1m3f AW novice before Christmas and returned with a career-best second on soft-ground handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f); Goodwood was disappointing (1m4f, good) and it's hard to know why; bit to prove after that.

Form & Verdict
The form of her Sandown fourth reads well and she then made no mistake at Goodwood (1m2f, good), albeit having had the run of things as she was ideally positioned off muddling fractions; raced wide, was too free and hung on ground perhaps too fast for her when only sixth on handicap debut back at Sandown (1m1f); bred to stay and could be interesting under these conditions if she can settle.

Consistent for Tom Ward in 2025; changed hands for 70,000gns but she went too freely when beating only one home on her stable debut in a 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood on her recent return; she's the sort to bounce back.

Third on her first two runs this season (1m6f/1m4f, good to soft/good) and a case can be made on that form but down the field on her last three outings and she needs to get back on track now back down in trip.

J: Richard Kingscote

Her last win came at last season's Glorious Goodwood when the ground was heavy; she has run mostly respectably this term but having ground softer than good, preferably soft or heavy, seems vital to her chance.

Form & Verdict
Softer the ground the better, having twice impressed in the mud over 1m4f last autumn and won on soft at Doncaster this April; subsequent setbacks reaffirm that she's not so effective on goodish ground; may need optimum conditions to defy this sort of mark.
