All four starts have been at the Newmarket tracks; 2-2 as a juvenile, including a soft-ground Group 3 in October, and she stayed on to go down by a neck in 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance; held every chance 2f out in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, good; 13-2) so ending up ninth of 16 was disappointing and she again hung under pressure; plenty to prove after that even though stamina can be found in her pedigree.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Dubawi filly who has reached a useful standard of form over 7f and gives the impression she'll rate even higher over this extra furlong; 2-2 as a juvenile, including Group 3 success on soft going here, then finished a neck second behind Pretty Crystal in good-ground Nell Gwyn on reappearance (beaten favourite but ran satisfactorily while still seeming rather green); likely to build on that trial effort and has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Nicely bred filly, by Kingman and the first foal of a well-related 7f winner (including 2yo/Group 3); major connections; potentially above average and looks a likely type; market confidence should be heeded.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a C&D novice 23 days ago; picked up well in a steadily run race (Cognisance won the second division in a time over two seconds quicker) on that occasion and could have more to offer on this surface.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Five-race maiden; best efforts when runner-up three times, beaten only half a length at Salisbury (7f) most recently; hasn't progressed in the expected manner but brings the best form to this AW debut and is bred to be suited by the new scenario (dam's first win came over C&D).

Thriving for her current yard and she arrives on a hat-trick after landing handicaps at Redcar (5f) and Wetherby (5.5f); up another 4lb but this course scorer remains handily weighted on old form; player.

Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender.

Polytrack winner in a first-time tongue-tie last backend when returning from wind surgery and four months off; that was not the first time she'd gone well fresh and this six-month layoff is not offputting, but she was held at short prices in two runs off her revised mark.
