Form & Verdict
Sister to 1m-1m2f winner Headman (including Group 2; RPR 118); running-on second at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last July but, despite odds of 1-4, she was comprehensively outpointed by a promising newcomer at Chester (7f, good to soft) in September; carried head rather high on both starts and has since had wind surgery; big form player and it's not too late to live up to her debut promise.

Talented when things fall right and seen to good effect when romping away over 7f at Leicester in July (soft ground may have helped); isn't a push-button ride and has to prove she can stay 1m (failed to get cover and settle in one previous attempt at 1m, on AW) but Saffie Osborne is an intriguing booking, having first ride for the yard.

Returned from wind surgery with a maiden win on Newmarket's Rowley course (7f, good) in April; didn't get home over 1m on handicap debut and never really threatened when third on her return to 7f on the Newmarket July course; can carry her head a tad high; mark hasn't budged an inch for those two defeats but she can still figure prominently.
