Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo, the winner of two soft-ground handicaps; the second of those was 17-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (1m) after trouble in running and she improved again when staying-on fourth of ten in Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good); unraced beyond that but there is stamina in the family; needs a bit better still but it can't be ruled out given the way she's going.

Won debut; best form when runner-up in handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Haydock (1m2f, good; made most) but she found a 1m4f Group 3 here too tough a fortnight ago, despite a creditable effort on form; unraced on softer than good; something to find.

AW debut winner; drawn a blank in her six outings since but largely progressive and she had the reopposing Rousay 2l behind in third when an excellent second in 1m2f Newmarket Group 3 four weeks ago; a reproduction of that form should see her go close at the least.

Below par in the winter on final two runs for the French stable of Hiroo Shimuzu and her best form has come over 1m2f/1m4f; however, she's a class act when on song, having run creditably in French Group 1 races last year, and is a key player if tapping back into that promise on her debut for top trainer Roger Varian (who also saddles Zenga).

She hasn't won since her debut but there have been some good runs in defeat along the way, notably a second of ten in this grade at York in July (1m2f, good to soft); conditions no problem but she looks the owner's second string and minor money perhaps her best hope.

Comfortable 1m win here (good to soft) in April; better form in 1m Listed races (good to firm) at York in May and Newmarket two weeks ago in her only two starts since, so she has similar form to most of these; hooded last time; sire gives plenty of hope for 1m2f but she has been racing freely.
