15th foal; half-sister to seven winners, notably 6f Group 3 winner Jimmy Styles; struggled to cope with soft ground on last month's debut but her 300-1 fifth of 11 here (7f) a week ago was much more encouraging and she's open to further progress if today's extra furlong suits.

Both wins have been over 1m at Kempton, this season's coming at the expense of Sonemos; the glaring concern is her two subsequent efforts (1m, good; 7f AW) that read nothing like as well.
