Niece of a French 6f juvenile Group 2 winner; 22-1 on Nottingham debut (6f, good to firm) last month but she made smooth progress before staying on well to beat a clear second; that was a comfortable success over a subsequent winner and she's a major player again under a penalty.

Won big-field maiden on debut at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in June and easily followed up in Pontefract novice (6f, good) last month; now goes into a nursery and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie; this likeable prospect could play another leading role.
