Made it 3-3 when landing a Listed race at York (1m, good to firm) last May but she found things tough in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Ascot (never-dangerous seventh) the following month; has been on the sidelines since but she's still unexposed and could resume her progress back in calmer waters on her return.

Supplemented for this contest at a cost of £46,000; improving filly who is 3-3, most recently driven out for half-length success in Listed grade at York (1m, good to firm) on turf debut; now partnered for the first time by William Buick, who rode a Group 1 winner for these connections last season; very interesting upped further in class, with her bubble yet to be burst and limitations not yet exposed.

Won on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and followed up in Kempton novice (1m, AW) last month, with a subsequent Listed runner-up in second; others have achieved more but she's a half-sister to a Listed winner for connections and her dam won a Group 3, so could have more left in the tank.

Form & Verdict
80,000gns yearling; ran to a similar level, nothing special, in two late-season spins on turf (Haydock 6f and Newmarket 7f); withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls ahead of last month's intended AW debut; her pedigree suggests she can do better on artificial surfaces.

Narrowly denied on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (7f, yielding) in May; raised 3lb and not beaten far when losing action late on at Tipperary last time (7.5f, gd-fm); this stiffer stamina test not certain to suit.

Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh.

Limited action so far but she ended 2025 in fine fettle, finding plenty to win a 7f Leicester novice (good) and was not at all hard pressed to win on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); useful comeback run when runner-up on Southwell AW in April and should come on for the outing; further improvement likely.
