6f win on 2yo debut; showed her effectiveness fresh when winning a fillies' handicap over C&D in May but no progress in next two runs; an 87-day break looks a good move but Aramram looks a likelier type for the yard.

Form & Verdict
First foal of Group 1 winner Skitter Scatter; promising second on 6f course debut (good to firm) and built on that when filling the same position at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago; the third gave the Newmarket form a boost when scoring at Lingfield on Saturday; looks a winner in waiting.

Runner-up in three 6f events as a 2yo, mixing it with some useful opposition on a variety of ground; gelded during 343-day absence; should bring potential to this handicap debut and interesting to see how he fares in the betting.

His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark.

Has had excuses with one thing and another since an easy comeback win over 6f here off 1lb lower in the spring, latterly when getting buzzed up after being hampered early; longer trip not assured on pedigree (dam produced only sprinters) but she's capable of going well if seeing it out.

A likely type on breeding, being a half-brother to connections' 5.5f/6f winner Pink Crystal (including Listed; RPR 107) and out of a 6f and 7f (Listed) 2yo winner (100); it'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him.
