Form & Verdict
£23,000 yearling, £125,000 2yo (last month's breeze-ups); first foal; dam 7f/1m winner (RPR 73), half-sister to several winners notably Go Bears Go (6f 2yo Group 2) and Oo De Lally (smart 7f including 2yo); should improve for this first outing but it will be no surprise if she's in the mix.

She's well handicapped on 2024 2yo form; last year wasn't devoid of spark but it was an underwhelming campaign and she has to raise her game.

J: Dale Swift

T: Seb Spencer

One of her two novice wins last season came here; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners) but then only fourth of six at Newmarket, failing to convince stamina-wise over 1m.

Two 6f novice wins at two included one at York; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners); not ruled out, though does have to prove her stamina for this far.

210,000euros yearling; first foal; dam French 6.5f-1m winner (including Listed) from classy family; likely to improve for this debut but trainer's 2yos are in excellent form and she could play a leading role, especially if strong in the betting; one of two newcomers for yard.

7f handicap win at Ayr last September off 4lb lower (good ground; tongue tied first time); similar form when a close fourth at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in April but she took a backwards step at Newmarket last month; slower ground no problem and a revival could be forthcoming.

Form & Verdict
Belied 14-1 odds to win on debut over C&D (good) 11 days ago; it was a performance in keeping with her breeding and the dam's side of her pedigree provides optimism she'll be effective on slow ground; sets a strong standard despite the 7lb penalty.
