4 yo Filly

OR: 85

Form & Verdict
Seen far more often at 1m4f, for instance for two Newmarket wins in 2022; Listed races proved too tough this term and she was far more competitive when second of four back in a handicap on latest start, but 1m2f is a concern.

Has won three of her last six starts including an Ayr Listed contest (1m2f, good) last month; ran well to finish fifth of 13 in a Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) 20 days ago and placed in both AW starts, but she may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type.

Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Long odds on when she readily made all at Yarmouth (1m2f) in August, in between two minor honours in other novice races; no improvement in form (debut was on good to soft) but early days and better might be forthcoming on this handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Handicap debut on sixth start when she won on Newmarket July course (1m2f) in gritty fashion; improved again when third there next time and it was heavy ground when she tailed off at Glorious Goodwood (first turf run away from good ground) and that is forgivable; close up if bouncing back.

Two wins and two seconds from her four handicap hurdles, all on good ground over about 2m; that's progressive form and her Flat level (fairly useful) suggests she can do better still; major chance.

Form & Verdict
2,500,000euros yearling buy who is half-sister to Arc winner Sottsass; beat an odds-on Godolphin filly on debut at Newmarket in July 2022 and second to a smart filly on AW last September, both over 1m; it's been a while but she's back and should bring plenty of potential, including upped in trip.
