Completed a hat-trick in turf handicaps over 7f/1m in the summer and put up an even better effort when second of ten in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in September; disappointed when seventh of ten in a Listed contest at Ascot (7f, good) last month (behind two of these) and needs to bounce back from that now returned to the AW.

Acts on any ground; emphatic winner at the York Ebor festival, completing a handicap hat-trick; subsequently a good second, behind a useful filly who dictated the pace, in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f); progressive 3yo who should continue to do well; respected.

Fast-improving filly who looked well ahead of the assessor since handicapping, most recently beating 17 rivals in emphatic style at the York Ebor festival when dropped back to 7f; versatile ground-wise; looks a potential Group performer and comes here on a roll; interesting upped in class.

Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more.

Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her.
