7f AW winner in January; added two 1m handicaps on turf, notably a big-field event at Glorious Goodwood; another career best when second of eight in a 1m fillies' handicap at Newmarket (soft) last month; still not fully exposed and has run well over C&D before.

Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song.

Third at Epsom on return was a lot better than either of her subsequent efforts and she's only ever won two novice events, the latest in June 2022; some stiff tasks, admittedly, but others have more pressing claims.

Capable of useful form; didn't fare badly in Royal Ascot handicap most recently considering two things were against her (partially shod, poorly drawn); however, chance of ending a three-year losing spell depends on whether the first-time tongue-tie works a treat.

Form & Verdict
Completed an AW hat-trick (all at around 1m on Tapeta) when trained by Charlie Appleby; had a wind operation prior to his stable debut at Newcastle in June (1m; after 518 days off) and he responded well to pressure, narrowly beaten into fourth in a blanket finish; poor run on soft turf at Doncaster next time but he's better than that and still has potential back on AW.

Well beaten in 1m2f Listed events on turf when last seen in midsummer; returning to AW (4-8, including C&D, as opposed to 0-16 on turf) a big plus and he can go well after a break; one to take seriously with Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, for all the cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts) are now dispensed with
