Has shown progressive form over 7f while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; took her record to 2-3 with success in soft-ground Prestige Stakes at Goodwood most recently and that Group 3 event supplied the May Hill winner last year; debut win came on good to firm; possibilities.

Now looks a bargain at 5,000gns (bought in May), as after a successful debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; narrowly) she defied odds of 66-1 and a bad draw to finish second behind a stylish winner in a Listed race at Sandown (good); the third has since performed quite well in a Group 3; needs respecting.

Kingman filly who cost 425,000gns as a yearling; easily made all at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and might not have done herself justice when third in Listed event at Sandown (favourite; raced freely and faded) next time; more is needed here but she's quite well bred and still low-mileage.

Below form all three starts since winning a valuable series final at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last September; making most in the three-runner Lingfield Oaks Trial on reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs and she may prove effective over this trip, but marked improvement is needed.

Her best 2yo form came on slow ground and that campaign ended with two below-par runs; however, the form of her valuable Series Final win at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last September reads well and she's shown hints of staying potential; not discounted on reappearance.
