Form & Verdict
Sent off at 9-1 for her debut in a C&D novice in December but produced a striking effort in scooting clear of her rivals off a slow pace, coming home 4l to the good; the second gives the form some substance and she's a key player despite her 5lb penalty.

Lengthy absences are a feature in this lightly raced filly's profile but she's 5-5 and did well to overcome a break of 255 days to beat Blue Bolt in Sandown's Group 3 Atalanta Stakes, especially as she was conceding 6lb to the runner-up and dropped in from the widest stall; fully entitled to raise her game again on this first crack at a Group 1 and hard to know how good she might be.

Winner of all four AW starts, culminating in ready 3l Deauville Listed success over 9.5f last December; looked one who could make her mark at Group level in 2025 but she hasn't been seen since; good to see her back but her length of absence, ability to act on turf and the outside stall are all reasons for a watching brief this time.
