Form & Verdict
First foal; dam 6f/7f winner (including 2yo/Group 3), half-sister to multiple 6f/7f winner Tamaska (88), out of unraced half-sister to two Group 2 winners; pedigree catches the eye and she's in good hands; one of two newcomers for the yard and interesting to see how she goes in the betting.

Gamely won the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f, good) in April; best to forgive her 1,000 Guineas defeat but it's harder to excuse her Group 3 effort (6f) last time; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Beaten in major races won by Porta Fortuna, Sacred Angel and Darnation last summer but looked an improved filly in the Nell Gwyn here (7f, good) on reappearance, gamely beating Dance Sequence by a neck; supplemented for this contest at a cost of £30,000; may well build on her trial win provided she stays the new trip (mixed messages in pedigree on that score).

Close second of four on debut at Nottingham (5f, soft); hung left and was only third when the 11-10 favourite at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time, but it wasn't a bad run and the first-time cheekpieces and step up to 6f are both possible positives; key player.

Initial promise for George Boughey (same ownership) and has gone 2-2 for this yard in 6f soft-ground novices in the north; did well to defy a penalty last time from a tricky draw but the handicapper hasn't held back with a 10lb rise ahead of nursery debut.

Front-runner who was a close third on debut at Kempton (5f, AW) and bounced back from soft-ground flop when runner-up at Thirsk (5f, good) 12 days ago; there can be hope 6f will be fine and she has leading form claims.
