Second foal; by Night Of Thunder; out of a four-time Group 2 winner and her first foal, Aablan, made a winning debut here last July before winning the Group 3 Solario; likely type for a top stable that has won this four times since 2017, including with newcomers.

Unbeaten in four races as 2yo, by an aggregate of almost 17l and culminating in Group 1 Fillies' Mile (good to soft; unraced on softer); evens when she reappeared for the 1,000 Guineas back at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and she made all, strongly challenged but pulling 1l clear; shapes as if sure to stay beyond 1m, even though she's by the miler Night Of Thunder and her smart dam looked best up to 1m1f; the proven class act in this field but with stamina for 1m4f the big question.

Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard.

Impressive in the Group 3 Fred Darling over C&D (good) in April on reappearance; she's not seen her race out since in the 1,000 Guineas, Irish Guineas or Coronation Stakes, all admittedly top races over 1m but she tailed off in first-time cheekpieces in the last named, which prompts concern today even though she's back at 7f.
