Form & Verdict
Easy to back but looked a smart prospect when drawing clear of ten rivals at Windsor on last month's debut (5f, soft; fifth won next time); her inexperience was evident on debut and she should be a bit more streetwise today; leading contender.

Enjoyed a most productive 2yo season, winning the Super Sprint here (5f, good to soft) and the Lowther at York (6f, good to firm; Group 2); seemed not to stay 7f when only fourth of six in the Group 3 Fred Darling here on reappearance, her run flattening out; returning to sprinting should be ideal and she'll be a major player if recapturing her juvenile form.

Effortlessly pulled clear of her rivals at Bath on debut four weeks ago (5f, good to soft) and the subsequent impressive wins of the third and fourth give that form some ballast; more to come and she's high on the list for a yard whose 2yos have made a strong start to the season.

Not at best in the Super Sprint but that is flanked by solid efforts in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (good) and Glorious Goodwood conditions race (soft); latter form can be marked up (had to wait for a run); leading player on the figures.

February foal; sister to Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Heartwarming (RPR 92) and half-sister to three at least useful sprinters, notably Group 2 scorer Heartache (110); dam a 5f Listed winner (106); bred to be sharp and it's interesting that her trainer is pitching her into this warm race on debut; betting to guide.

Sole win in 5f novice (firm) as 2yo; has run well in Group and Listed company since, notably when a close fourth at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in June, but she beat only one home on handicap debut at Goodwood last time out; yard also runs Katey Kontent.

Sole win in 5f Bath novice (firm) as 2yo; campaigned in Listed and Group races since, doing well when a close fourth, after meeting trouble, in a 5f Listed race at Sandown (good to soft); down the field in Group 3 there since but that was a strong race for the grade; intriguing in her first handicap for yard that won this in 2022.

February foal; 16,000gns foal, 50,000gns yearling; first foal of a maiden, herself closely related to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Cappella Sansevero; yard have hit the ground running with their few 2yos to race this term, including a debut win for a colt by this one's rookie sire Land Force; good standard to aim at but needs a market check.

Finished just over 4l behind the reopposing Liv My Life over C&D on debut two weeks ago when looking as though the run would have taught her plenty; yard's 2yos often much more clued up second time and they have a line on Juniper Berries through Goodwood winner Beenham; more to come but such progress is needed in this field.

Got up late at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) on second nursery start and made it 2-2 under Saffie Osborne at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last Thursday; had 3l to spare on that first crack at 6f and a 6lb penalty may not stop her today; has shown promise on good and good to firm ground.

3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful.
