Form & Verdict
Must be well regarded to have been sent off odds-on for her debut on the July course here (7f, good) and she duly justified the confidence without being impressive; second unraced since and the limited third is now 0-7; others have achieved much more but she is open to bags of improvement.

All four starts have been at the Newmarket tracks; 2-2 as a juvenile, including a soft-ground Group 3 in October, and she stayed on to go down by a neck in 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance; held every chance 2f out in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, good; 13-2) so ending up ninth of 16 was disappointing and she again hung under pressure; plenty to prove after that even though stamina can be found in her pedigree.

Dubawi filly who has reached a useful standard of form over 7f and gives the impression she'll rate even higher over this extra furlong; 2-2 as a juvenile, including Group 3 success on soft going here, then finished a neck second behind Pretty Crystal in good-ground Nell Gwyn on reappearance (beaten favourite but ran satisfactorily while still seeming rather green); likely to build on that trial effort and has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to Group 1 Moyglare winner Skitter Scatter; might well have justified favouritism with a clear run at Sandown (good) and then showed her true colours when coming with a withering run to win cosily at Salisbury (7f, good to firm), beating an impressive subsequent winner with the pair dominant; purchased by Juddmonte since; exciting filly.

Seems versatile ground-wise; lightly raced 4yo who had cheekpieces added for last two starts in 2024 when going close in a 1m1f Group 3 at Chantilly and edging ahead close home in 1m Listed contest at Sandown; more is needed but she could be the type to do better still.

Consistent and genuine filly who has done better the more she's raced, adding to three 6f handicap wins (good and good to firm; one over C&D) with a feisty show in fourth on unfavourable terms in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, soft) last month; can have a big say back at 6f.

Ran well over 1m at this meeting last year; on the up as a sprinter this term, winning three of her last four starts and actually running really well on the occasion she was beaten (unsuitably soft ground); 6lb rise for her latest Class 3 win (good Topspeed figure) is fair enough but this will be a different test from anything she's previously encountered; she is a strong traveller though and Ryan Moore takes the ride.

Form & Verdict
The form of her nursery win at York (7f, good to firm) has worked out extremely well and she probably bumped into one who could turn out really smart when second in a Listed race at Doncaster (soft; only filly in the field); however, that run seemingly confirmed that she's vulnerable to anything with star potential.

Highly tried since beating her 19 rivals in a valuable York nursery (7f, good to firm) last August, looking out of her depth in Newmarket Group 3s on her final start at two and reappearance; well drawn but looks vulnerable to an improver; stable also runs Al Shabab Storm.
