Similar type to Cloudbreaker as she's a Sea The Stars filly who cost 200,000euros as a yearling; has shown promise in AW novice events at Kempton (fourth over 7f) and Southwell (second over 1m); stable won this race in 2019 and 2021; major contender upped further in trip.

Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today.

Improved efforts the last twice, placed over 7f at Chelmsford (novice) and Lingfield (Class 6 nursery); should stay 1m but suspicion she will need to improve again to trouble some of the well-bred opposition.
