Twice a Listed winner, notably when beating Hey Boo over this trip at Newmarket on her final start last season; appears well held by Jancis based on a Group 2 clash at the same venue three weeks ago.

Successful twice in Listed grade, including at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on last appearance; could go well but her overall record and ratings suggest she's unlikely to follow up in this better race.

Form & Verdict
Delivered on debut promise when scoring at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in June and probably bettered that form when making all here (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; sets a fairly useful form standard.

Half-sister to useful 7f-1m2f winner Have Secret (RPR 96); dam a Listed-placed 1m2f winner (93); green and outpaced in early stages of recent debut at Doncaster (6f, soft) but kept on well from over 1f out to take second (no threat to easy winner); ought to be more streetwise here and the extra furlong is very likely to suit.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.
