Made an impressive debut over C&D last April; struggled in the 1000 Guineas on her next start and she's yet to make an impact in two handicap runs; may leave last month's reappearance behind her but has something to prove.

Impressive 7f debut on this track (good to soft) in April 2024 but the 1,000 Guineas next time was too much to ask; seemingly failed to stay 7f on handicap debut at Sandown last June and although she might yet make a sprinter there are some large questions to answer back from absence.

For one so inexperienced it was a big ask in the 1,000 Guineas and she was duly sunk without trace; while that's readily forgiven, the form of her debut win at Newbury (7f, good to soft) hasn't worked out at all well; a hard filly to judge from a handicapping perspective.

Hint of ability after getting knocked sideways at the start on Newbury debut (7f, good to soft); well held on AW after but came through strongly to lead near the line on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) in June; up 2lb and this stiffer test back on turf can suit; improve.
