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.

Made all for an impressive success in newcomers' event at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month, looking a smart prospect; her form is still in an embryonic state but she created a tremendous impression and fits into the could-be-anything category; likely to stay 1m; fascinating contender upped to Classic level on only her second run.

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.
