Form & Verdict
Bought for £100,000 after an easy Irish point win and she made a promising start for her current yard when a running-on third in bumper over C&D in April; this daughter of My Dream Boat looks to have plenty more to offer so she's a big player.

Has just over 5l to find with White Noise on their Warwick clash in February (2m3f, heavy) but a 5lb pull with the winner can only help her cause and perhaps 3m on soft ground stretched her when a remote second at Doncaster (Listed); has to enter the reckoning.

An improving mare who won two of her first three races over hurdles and wasn't disgraced at Warwick when raised into a Grade 2 (2m3f, heavy); unraced beyond an extended 2m4f under rules but she won a 3m point and there's stamina in her pedigree.

Would have found conditions too soft when seventh behind Pretending at Market Rasen and she then justified market confidence with a narrow win at Bangor (2m3f, good); she travelled much the best in that race but the handicapper went with an 11lb rise and that asks major questions in this loftier grade.
