Form & Verdict
Highly tried after her successful Newmarket debut (6f, good) a year ago, but ran well on her return from 215 days off when third of 11 in a Chelmsford Listed contest (6f, AW) last month; has shaped as though worth another go at this trip (backed up by her pedigree) and she remains unexposed.

One win from seven starts in 2025, making rather heavy weather of a Listed Musselburgh race (7f, good; odds-on) in June; looks up against it pitting her wits against 6f specialists on rare run at this trip; cheekpieces on.

First past the post in the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood last July (7f, good to firm; demoted due to interference); not quite at her best when fifth in that same race last time but she raced freely; has shown promise on good to soft ground; possible player if settling better than last time.

A bit disappointing when favourite at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time, even allowing for her wide draw; however, she was in top form previously, going close in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) then winning a Listed race at Musselburgh (7f, good), and she was first past the post in this last year (demoted due to interference); major player if bouncing back to her best.

Three handicap wins over 6f last season and ran well when second of 14 in a Curragh Listed contest (6f, soft) in October; hasn't built on that in two starts at the same level at Bath (5f, good) and Chantilly (6f, very soft) since returning; tackles 7f for the first time and needs more.

Had a spirited end to 2023, winning a handicap and runner-up in a Listed race (both 6f on soft; effective on good to firm) but this year hasn't gone so well and she hasn't repeated a good second, when upped to 7f in a Listed race at Musselburgh in June, in two runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; needs a turnaround.

Placed four times at Group/Listed level last season, including chasing home Fallen Angel in the Sweet Solera (7f, good); things didn't pan out for her on last month's Chelmsford return (6f, AW; first start since wind surgery), but no surprise if she fares better this time; still in the Commonwealth Cup.

Very useful filly; successful over 1m at Royal Ascot (handicap) and Deauville (Group 3) last term and Kempton (AW Listed) on reappearance; came up short returned to Royal Ascot (Group 2) last time but commands respect, even with a 3lb penalty, back down in grade.

Her highlights last season included a win in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and a clearcut success in Group 3 at Deauville (1m, good) in August; made virtually all when just holding off Crimson Advocate on Kempton reappearance (1m Listed) in March but she's exposed after 16 starts and has something to find on the figures back in a Group 2.

Handy sort who won five times last year and showed she can be effective at Listed level when runner-up at Newmarket (6f, soft) last October and at Haydock (6f, soft) eight days ago; has a bit to find with a few of these, but drying ground and the return to 7f no problem so she should go well again.
