Patchy profile since winning on 2yo debut at Leicester (7f, good) last September; hampered when fair seventh of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in August and drops back in trip having been down the field over 1m2f at York last time; things may click again at some point but others arrive with less to prove; the hood worn the last twice is now left off.

Form & Verdict
Trainer has a better strike-rate with 2yos on the AW than turf (6-11 and 0-23 respectively this year) and this half-sister to a UAE Group 2 winner enhanced the numbers on her Kempton debut; needs to improve under a penalty but the stiffer 7f should suit.
