Form & Verdict
Showed clear promise when a keeping-on third in C&D maiden on debut last November; failed to beat a rival over 1m here on comeback last month but she got hampered soon after the start and was then forced wide; should be sharper this time and it is still very early days for this well-bred filly; not ruled out.

More professional when off the mark on her third start for the Gosden yard in October, after which she was picked up for 35,000gns; it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on her handicap/Tapeta debut.

90,000gns yearling; ninth foal; half-sister to winners Glencadam Glory (1m turf 2yo/1m4f AW; RPR 110), Penmaen (5.5f-7f including German 6f Listed; 100), Milady (6f; 83) and Darling Grace (1m; 67); dam 6f-1m winner (including AW; Listed; 108); plenty to like on paper but yard is 1-24 in maidens this year and she could be one for later on; refused to enter stalls at Newcastle last November.

Unexposed filly who made the frame on first two AW starts (7f/1m) and was very respectable fifth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; open to improvement on this turf/handicap debut; one to consider.

Promising runs last year at 7f/1m but delivered her least effective performance yet on Lingfield return (7f), albeit in a valuable Class 4 on handicap debut; something to prove on the back of that.
