Form & Verdict
Well supported when making a winning debut at Newbury (6f, good) last July and was pitched in at the deep end when contesting a Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in October, although she acquitted herself well in finishing fourth of ten; back in much calmer waters on return; major claims.

J: Colin Keane

Has sustained useful form on French soil the last twice, winning at Longchamp (Listed) then fourth at Deauville (Group 3), both over 1m; this low-mileage 3yo may still have more to offer; yet to finish out of the frame.

Three starts, winning a Newbury maiden (6f, good) and a Catterick novice (7f, good to firm) with a 5l fourth in the Group 2 Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in between; improvement is needed but she looks a good prospect for 1m and her trainer won this in 2021; not discounted.

Both starts over 7f on the AW, finishing an encouraging third of nine on her Kempton debut in February and coming home 5l clear in a Wolverhampton maiden last month; remains promising now switched to turf.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: James Tate

AW maiden winner in March; second handicap run was better than her first and she still has time to do better again; unraced on slower than good but her half-sister Star Jasmine won on heavy; finishing effort at Chester last time suggests this stiff track will help.

Landed 7f Wolverhampton maiden in March but she came in only sixth of eight on her handicap debut at Newmarket (1m) 26 days ago; she needs to get back on track.

Solid record (312) over 7f, latest effort at Catterick switched to turf from AW; remains open to progress and should be suited by this extra furlong (half-sister to two 1m winners); interesting.

11,000euros foal; 22,000gns yearling; half-sister to three winners including Conversant (5f-6f; RPR 76); dam 7f winner (82), half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner Forest Storm (dam of 2,000 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder); stable has the occasional winning newcomer, but this looks a tough starting point.

Respectable handicap debut over C&D in June but not as good since, latterly finishing behind Desert Raider; cheekpieces are now added over a longer trip.

Has shown a little ability as when beaten 3l into fifth of nine behind Almutraf on handicap debut over C&D in June; lesser effort at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) since then, though, and needs to benefit from the first-time tongue-tie.

The winner of two 6f handicaps on good ground at Carlisle this summer; also ran a cracker to finish second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; form dipped at Haydock last month and the suitability of ground softer than good needs to be taken on trust.

Two 6f wins at Carlisle this summer (good) and close second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this bang-in-form filly could play another leading role.
