February foal by Almanzor; first foal; dam 7f 2yo-1m2f winner (including AW, Park Hill second; RPR 106), sister to German/UAE 1m6f Group 3 winner Ispolini, half-sister to useful 1m1f-10.5f winner Playful Sound, out of US 1m2f Grade 2 winner, is granddaughter of Fillies' Mile winner; plenty to like on pedigree and market confidence would be significant.

Made all to win a Newbury maiden (7f) for Sir Michael Stoute last year and she was back in form for this yard when second to a subsequent Group 2 winner in a Goodwood Listed race (also soft, 1m2f) in June; weakened when last of six in an AW Group 3 19 days later; plenty to find on the book but far from discounted for her in-form yard.

Won twice as 2yo before well held at 33-1 in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile on final start for Sir Michael Stoute; went to nothing on reappearance and although she bounced back with her front-running second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) 19 days ago, this AW debut demands so much more.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye when fourth of 14 on her debut here (6f, good to firm) in May (form worked out very well) and she went on to score herself at Newbury (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago (third has won since); shapes as though this extra furlong should suit and holds major claims.

Landed a 7f Listed event in the mud on her final 2yo start; best effort of the current campaign when third of 11 in 7f Sandown handicap (soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied first time; place shout if the ground becomes testing.

Not particularly solid on 2025 form but this is a drop back in class on handicap debut; interesting at this level if the ground is slow, having gained her 2yo wins (including Listed) on softer than good.

Back from absence with two 7f AW wins last autumn, then set fire to her mark by running well in Listed events; highly tried on first two starts in 2026 before running quite promisingly at Goodwood (7f, good; first turf handicap) last week, considering she never had a clear run; can fare better.

Similar type to Shiplake, with still having to prove that best AW form can be transferred back to turf; not exactly solid on 2026 efforts anyway and doesn't look the percentage call in this competitive field.

All three starts at 7f on good to firm and good as 2yo, winning Yarmouth maiden in July; reappeared from 425-day break to land two 7f AW handicaps in October and career-best form when fifth of 16 in Deauville Listed event (7.5f, AW) in December; beat only one home in a valuable handicap at Newcastle on last month's return, however, and has work to do in this company.

Sent off 66-1 for her Newmarket debut (7f, good) last month, but showed plenty of promise in finishing fourth of ten; stable not noted for 2yo winners (3-81 in past five seasons), but she can't be dismissed if building on that effort.

Belied 66-1 odds when promising fourth on debut on the other Newmarket course (7f, good); wears a first-time hood on nursery debut and a market check is advised, but she needs to bounce back from two lesser runs.
