Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; reappearance in March wasn't too bad but she was last of seven 18 days ago, which she needs to leave way behind her.

Well-bred daughter of Iffraaj who caught many an eye when a fast-finishing third of nine on her debut at Lingfield (1m; 11-1) last week, really getting the hang of things after running green early on; should improve considerably and probably the one to beat.

From a family that has served her connections well and she shaped encouragingly when second of nine at Lingfield (1m; 11-2) last week, doing her best work late on after showing considerable greenness; like third-placed War And Love, she seems sure to improve, and perhaps by some margin.
