Three 2yo wins last year, including C&D novice (good to soft) and Deauville Listed (5f, very soft); she's been a fair fifth in Listed races on her two starts this year (heavy/good to firm) but needs something extra now making her first handicap start off a lofty mark.

Three wins as a 2yo, notably a Listed win in France last August (5f, very soft; Gaenari back in second); fifth of 12 in a Chantilly Listed race on her return in March (5.5f, heavy); stable can do little wrong at present but it could be that she would prefer slower ground.

Last five runs over 6f; initially did well in blinkers when an emphatic winner at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) and posted the same RPR when runner-up there next time on soft; never travelled when disappointing at Goodwood but could be dangerous if reacting positively to another change of headgear.

Promise on debut; fitted with blinkers for her nursery debut at Newmarket in July and strode clear of her rivals to win emphatically (6f, good to soft); similar form when second of six off a 13lb higher mark back at Newmarket last month (form solid); another 2lb higher today but likely to make another bold bid.

Landed a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) in August and runner-up under her penalty at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) 15 days later, but out of her depth in a Group 3 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month; this more realistic on nursery debut, but probably still needs to find a bit more.
