Form & Verdict
Well-connected filly; stepped up on debut form when nailed late by stablemate over 1m at Kempton, then showed tenacity to hang on to her lead over 7f here in February (first-time cheekpieces, retained); the penalised runner-up put up a smart effort on handicap debut after; can improve further.
