Hardy filly who has won five times at 5f-6f this year and romped away with a 5f York handicap (good to firm) in August; acts on Tapeta but her first go at Southwell wasn't a great success; has something to find on the BHA ratings but this trip might well suit back on turf.

Began the campaign with two heavy defeats but she was reinvigorated by cheekpieces at York last month and hit a major new high in them in a Group 3 at this track (6f) eight days later, winning at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; fine chance if that form is repeated but, although she ran three times over 7f in 2022, she's not crying out for a return to this trip on the recent evidence.

A record of two wins from 16 turf starts in no way does justice to the Group 1 form she's capable of, such as a close second in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and a third to Asfoora in the Nunthorpe at York (both 5f, good to firm); the likely fast ground is a blessing and has good claims if on song.

Looked set to be a major sprinting force when beating a top sprinter in a 6f Group 2 on this track (good) in May 2023 but she's had only a handful of starts since and her dead-heat for first in a 5f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last time wasn't really worthy of the sprinter she promised to become; still time for her to do better but she's up against the specialist 5f sprinters, which gives her more to prove; yard won this in 2015 and 2016.
