Form & Verdict
American Pharoah filly; half-sister to good winner up to 1m3f New World Tapestry; dam winner up to 1m4f (Yorkshire Oaks); needed every yard when making a winning debut at Goodwood this month (7f, good to firm); should continue to improve as she goes up in distance and she holds Group 1 bet365 Fillies' Mile entry at Newmarket in October.

Out of a Yorkshire Oaks winner for her yard; brings a 2-2 profile having justified favouritism in maiden at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) and Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, good); promising filly who has to be feared, for all that Ryan Moore switches to stablemate January.

Showed up well in novice races at about 7f (good) on first two starts before winning at Kempton in style when upped to a mile; drop to 7f didn't suit in Listed company when a respectable fourth at Sandown last month; runner-up Anshoda subsequently won Goodwood Group 3 impressively to boost the form; step back up to a mile will suit and this British raider is highly respected.

Very useful form at two, placed twice and fourth of eight in 1m Curragh Group 3; missed 3yo campaign; probably needed the run when an unplaced 3-1 chance on her return at Bellewstown and made amends in a Sligo handicap; this is a furlong shorter, but she quickened well to assert; should have no problem with the trip and this better ground.

Two wins from eight starts and opposable on the majority of her form but she took a big step forward when upped to 10.3f at Naas (good) latest, keeping on well to win that Listed race by 1l and shaping as though 1m4f could prompt further improvement; Ryan Moore's mount of the Ballydoyle three and trainer/jockey have combined to win the last two runnings; respected.

Down the field on debut at Gowran but came from a seemingly impossible position to win a heavy-ground 7f auction maiden at Galway; sold subsequently, she followed up at Naas (7.5f, heavy) this month; clearly a very talented filly but might need rain to be seen to best effect.
