Thoroughly likeable filly with a very good (6-14) strike-rate; won handicap and Listed race at Bath (5f, heavy/good) in April and again gave her running when third in a warm Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) four weeks ago, with Dawn Charger and Symbology safely held; should go well once more.

Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either.

Form & Verdict
Useful as a 2yo, runner-up to Big Evs in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster (5f, soft); reared and lost many lengths at the stalls when last of nine in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock on reappearance; tardy starts are becoming a habit, but if she gets away on terms she should be a serious contender; rain would probably help her cause.

Goes well on soft ground; seemed suited by the return to 6f when winning the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York in July and she was better than the bare result when fifth to Montassib in the Sprint Cup at Haydock (rallied after meeting trouble) last time; others have stronger form but it looks as if she's still improving; not without hope.

Form & Verdict
Very much going the right way and followed up a wide-margin Chester win (6f, good to soft) with a cosy Haydock success (6f, good to firm) last Friday off a 7lb higher mark; travels strongly and should be just as effective at 5f as 6f; well worth her place in this higher grade.
