Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.

Snapped losing run of 25 when seen to advantage (pace was contested and it set up for the closers) over 7f here four weeks ago; 4lb rise is of no great concern but tackling 1m for the first time raises a question.

40,000gns 2yo who's a half-sister to numerous winners, notably Go Angelica and Southern Belle; yard has been among the winners of late and is 6-24 with runners here, so she's worth tracking in the market.

Ran way above market expectations on her Newbury debut last autumn, an effort that's been boosted since; maybe soft ground was behind her next effort and she still has potential.
