Form & Verdict
Odds-on for her Kempton debut in October (7f) and created a favourable impression in readily seeing off her rivals; sent off favourite for the Group 3 Nell Gwyn on her Newmarket reappearance 19 days ago but she was slowly away and probably wasn't ideally drawn as things panned out; back in calmer waters today and she holds strong claims.

Won the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June and, after defeats in two Group races (albeit with an excuse on second occasion), she won a C&D Listed race (good to firm) last Friday; this lightly raced 3yo is in top hands and could develop into a Group/Grade 1 winner at some point, but she needs a sizeable leap forward if she's to prevail today.

Consistent 3yo at 1m, having a straightforward task when off the mark at Pontefract (good to soft) last July; not seen to best advantage on testing surfaces in 2024 but hard to be sure that this mark is manageable.

Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor.
