Form & Verdict
Finished a well-held fourth of six at Newmarket (1m, good; 14-1) last month but that was behind a smart prospect and this well-bred filly should improve for that initial experience; not ruled out in calmer waters on her second start.

Returned after wind surgery with good second in Windsor maiden (1m2f, soft; RPR 85) in May; sets a clear standard on that form but he hung badly left at Kempton next time and flopped again in a Chester handicap (7.5f, good) 25 days ago; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track.
