Form & Verdict
Comfortably dominated four rivals from the front to win her maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) and, again racing freely but under restraint, she was possibly outstayed by a smart prospect at Sandown (7f Listed, good to firm); that form puts her clear on RPRs and she gives the impression there's more to come; as a daughter of Dubawi, the ground should be fine.

Landed the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) on final 2yo run; however, proved no match for Mawj at Meydan in February, then couldn't cope with Mammas Girl's finishing kick in the Nell Gwyn here; William Buick prefers Dream Of Love and this filly needs to raise her game.

Well-beaten second at Meydan (1m, good) in February after six months off; however, she's better than that and was progressive last year, winning a Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) last August on her final 2yo outing; could have more to offer for her top trainer and she's respected.

Impressive debut winner and her odds-on defeat at Pontefract didn't look so bad when the winner finished a good sixth in the Coventry; found further improvement when seeing her race out on the front foot to grab third in an always-strong 6f Group 3 on King George day at Ascot, the form of which has been boosted; interesting on this step up in trip; dam won on heavy.

Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Looked hot property when running out a wide-margin winner on her recent debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; 10-1; fourth disappointed on Thursday); it remains to be seen if that was too good to be true but the time she clocked from halfway bodes well, and she's clearly a strong contender for a stable with serious depth in this division; breeding casts some doubt about her handling these softer conditions.

After stylish wins at Newbury (6f) and Thirsk (7f; again good) she wasn't seen to best effect when held up off modest fractions in a Listed event back at Newbury (good to firm); will need to improve on that form to bustle up the best of these, but it's possible.
