Form & Verdict

Beautifully bred and stayed on nicely for third in a C&D maiden last month; yard's juveniles usually take a sizeable step forward from their initial outing and she has to be high on any shortlist.

Saxon Warrior filly; cost 225,000Eur as a yearling; half-sister to 2m AW winner Roman Art (RPR 68); dam US 1m/8.5f turf winner, half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Crossfirehurricane and 1m Listed winner My Generation; might ultimately want further but market support certainly worth noting.
