Progressive filly who put the race to bed quite convincingly for her first handicap win, at Haydock (7f, good) last May; had a much stiffer task in the Sandringham (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot after but ran a cracker in fourth, drifting across from a high draw; off since though so fitness unknown and market helpful; tongue tied this time.

This represents a marked rise in grade but she took what looked a competitive Haydock 7f handicap apart last month and a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world; dam won over this far; her yard won last year's Britannia with a similarly progressive type.
