Form & Verdict
Last season's highlight was her third in a 1m1f Group 2 at the Curragh last July; reappears having left Johnny Murtagh (remains in same ownership) and she's an each-way possible if at the top of her game.

Form & Verdict
Returned from an absence last September and hasn't been able to reproduce her very best form (finished third in Group 1 in 2021); however, in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) she stayed on for a creditable fifth on reappearance at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy; Group 3) in March and could build on that run now back up in trip; she could be a player.

Three wins last year (1m, including on good to soft; unraced on soft) before solid Listed third at Newmarket (1m, good); reportedly lost her action when well beaten last October (1m, AW); top trainer has won two of the last three runnings and this well-bred 4yo is just the type he excels with.

Very progressive at three, including a success over the straight 1m here; bombed out on soft-ground reappearance but back on track when fourth in 1m2f Ayr Listed race (good) four weeks ago, her stamina appearing to ebb away late on after hitting the front going well 2f out; drop back to 1m looks a good move; interesting contender, although her draw could make life awkward.

Landed a 1m2f handicap hat-trick last August-October (good-soft) then soundly beaten in mid-division in Doncaster Listed race (1m2f, heavy); however, based on her earlier promise she's a worthy contender in this grade and could get back on track with a big run today.

She hasn't won since her debut but there have been some good runs in defeat along the way, notably a second of ten in this grade at York in July (1m2f, good to soft); conditions no problem but she looks the owner's second string and minor money perhaps her best hope.
