Form & Verdict
Had an excellent 2024, winning Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and Group 3 event at Deauville, both over 1m; down the field at the Breeders' Cup when last seen in November; probably needed the run on her only previous AW start; she's the pick on ratings and the one to beat.

Relished the step up to 1m in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and won that 30-runner race with a late bid from the back; placed in Group/Listed races as 2yo and another third in Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) on latest outing, but easily her best form (which would make her a leading player) was delivered with that win in a big-field handicap.

Improved markedly in three outings last season, making all in 1m Cork maiden on third of them by a wide margin (runner-up went one better next time); bred to be smart (out of a half-sister to Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck) and looks a very interesting contender in this higher grade.

Very useful form as a 2yo, winning 7f Listed race at Sandown (beat subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel) and finishing a close second in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket; may still be capable of better and has leading claims if ready to do herself justice on AW debut after 17 months off.

Impressive 7f winner as 2yo; out of the frame both starts since but she might have needed the run after a long absence when sixth of 11 in Lingfield handicap four weeks ago; possibilities if building on that and her pedigree offers hope that she'll stay this far (pulled hard when tried previously).
