260,000gns half-sister to five winners including Nayef Road (7f-2m including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 116); followed Kempton promise (6f, AW) by winning a five-runner novice at Haydock (7f, good) one month later, always prominent and knuckling down well; the third has won since; this looks a tough field but she has clear potential still.

Won twice for Ollie Sangster at two, including a 7f Listed race at Sandown; began and ended last season with good runs in defeat (in the Nell Gwyn and a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud); sprang a surprise when beating stablemate Princess Child in a C&D Group 3 event on Irish debut; further progress is feasible.

Won a 7f Listed race here last season which remains her career-best form on Topspeed/RPR figures; kicked off this campaign with a second in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn (good to soft) and after flying too high in the French 1,000 Guineas she met with some serious interference in an Irish Group 3 17 days ago; ground this slow will be a first and one or two others appeal more.

Well beaten in German Group 2 (1m, soft) last month on sole outing this year but shaped as though she may have needed the run; won the Group 3 Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood (7f, soft) last August and it will be no surprise if she bounces back with a big performance.

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.
