3yo who made it 2-6 with her all-the way win in a Doncaster handicap (1m4f, soft; cheekpieces added) last month; that was a narrow success but it was in a Class 2 event and this promising filly could find more progress back up in trip; in the mix.

J: Rob Hornby

Sole turf run (penultimate start) was on good to firm; progressive in novice events, winning in clearcut fashion when upped to 1m4f at Kempton ten days ago; on that evidence she brings potential to this handicap debut over even further.

Form & Verdict
Progressive filly who was nicely on top in the finish when beating a solid yardstick over 1m4f at Goodwood (good), for which a 6lb rise is fair; no doubt has plenty more to offer; below par on her only previous run on ground softer than good, though that was on her debut.

Won at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Goodwood (1m4f, good) during the summer and she went close in her hat-trick bid at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) last month; another good run when third in a Class 2 at Newmarket last time but was behind Vera Verto in that race and she meets her old rival on the same terms here; needs to find more at this new trip.

Both wins have come on the AW but she's as effective on turf and perhaps failed to stay the 2m last time at Goodwood; remains of interest after only seven runs; unraced on ground softer than good.

Won 1m3f maiden here on debut last April and added a Wolverhampton 1m4f race in her second handicap; consistent in defeat afterwards as 3yo and has a competitive mark if resuming in the same form, but she ended last term suggesting that about 1m6f may be ideal.

Made it 2-3 on AW when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in June but she has a solid record back on turf since and has finished a creditable third on soft ground in last two runs (1m4f/1m6f); now drops back into a Class 4 event and she shouldn't be far away.

Talented filly and never better than the last twice, when third at Ascot and then never far away before prevailing narrowly at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy); 4lb higher but will enjoy the conditions and she's entitled to improve again.

Her last win came at last season's Glorious Goodwood when the ground was heavy; she has run mostly respectably this term but having ground softer than good, preferably soft or heavy, seems vital to her chance.

Second to a subsequent Listed winner over C&D (soft) before comfortably justifying odds-on favouritism in a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, soft); there's good reason to believe this mark could be on the light side for handicap debut; strongly respected.

Placed in all three starts, but having been sent off 4-11 she was rather disappointing when only third of 12 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; runner-up has won since and softer ground may help, but she still needs to turn things around.

Perhaps won a bit too well for her own good at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) with that walk in the park prompting a 10lb hit; however, despite her age, she remains unexposed with cut underfoot and has to be taken seriously.
