Form & Verdict

Not beaten far in any of her three outings, most recently when close second in C&D maiden a fortnight ago; that form already makes her a major player today, and probably haven't seen the best of her yet.

Form & Verdict

Out of a well-connected Listed winner; shaped with promise on sole 2yo start and won Newmarket novice (1m, good) on belated reappearance seven weeks ago, keeping on well to lead close home; should have more to offer and has very obvious claims here.
