Back off the same mark as when successful at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September; Flat form since has been patchy but still one for the shortlist, especially if the ground stays on the soft side.

Form & Verdict
First foal of her connections' Oaks winner Anapurna; evidently nothing like her dam judged on maiden/novice efforts but is likely to improve now handicapping and upped to 1m2f; hood fitted; very interesting off an opening mark of just 73, given her pedigree.
