She can race awkwardly but kept on for fifth, beaten only about 3l, in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with narrow handicap win at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; further improvement is necessary but her dam won the Irish Oaks and her stable has won four of the last ten runnings of this race; one of two for yard.

Won on sole 2yo outing; carried head high when failing to live up to expectations on first two 3yo starts (1m2f/1m4f) but cheekpieces seemed to help in a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (20-1) on latest outing and she has made some progress in form terms; needs better still on this handicap debut over new trip but she's a lightly raced 3yo who should have more to offer.

Excuses when last seen but was otherwise expensive to follow for Roger Varian before picked up for 25,000gns in December; ran well first time out as a 2yo on Tapeta, though, and this mark should be within range if ready to go after six months off.
