J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Has raced exclusively at 7f, winning four of her 12 starts; overcame a wide draw and trouble in running to win at Chester (7f, good) three weeks ago, showing a bright turn of foot and having more in hand than the 1l winning margin might suggest; up 4lb ahead of this belated first 6f run but the way she travels through her races offers serious encouragement that she will improve for it; tops the list.

Produced a smart turn of foot to defy a wide draw in a C&D handicap in May; unplaced twice since but her potential hasn't been dimmed, looking stretched by the trip on rain-softened ground at Epsom and then doing best of her group at Royal Ascot; drawn widest again but this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her.

Developing into a useful 7f filly and did well to win at Chester (good) on seasonal debut, having been drawn wide and come from quite a difficult position; below-par favourite at Epsom on softer ground since but it may be best to forgive that effort; still of interest.

Best efforts have come here and she appreciated the step back up from 7f, minus the usual tongue-tie, when winning over C&D a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-55 and she's 4lb higher today but she's lightly raced and may be capable of better.
