Last season concluded with a close Listed third at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) and she was third in a Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW) this July when last seen; has something to find back up in grade but she's in excellent hands and this is just her eighth run; not ruled out.

Entitled to need the run when fifth of nine to Jabaara at Musselburgh (7f) recently and was hot on the heels of that filly when close up in a Group 3 at Goodwood (7f; slightly hampered) last July; should be involved if this first experience of AW goes well.

Lightly raced 4yo with a useful pedigree; has two wins (6f/7f) to her name from just five attempts and she signed off last year's campaign with a very close third in a French Listed event; still has untapped potential and she's high on the list.

Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive.
