Four wins as a 2yo, including valuable C&D nursery on soft ground just over a year ago; 0-6 this year but her clear second over C&D (good) a fortnight ago was a good effort and she has each-way claims at least today.

Half-brother to Group 2 winner Azure Blue and has offered a bit of promise in three 6f runs at big prices; trainer is 0-57 with 2yos over the past five seasons and 5% with them here all told, though, which is far from encouraging.

Broke the 2yo course record at 7f when making all at Southwell a fortnight ago; possible she didn't enjoy Epsom prior to that, having bumped into one at Leicester, but she's had plenty of racing now and a 6lb rise demands more back on turf.
