With a clear run it's likely she would have won a warm fillies' novice at Ascot 16 days ago on her second start (1m, good to firm; beaten a short head); there can be optimism this Coronation Stakes entry will continue to progress for her top yard, and no surprise if she makes amends for last time.

Second of ten on debut at Newbury (7f, good) in April and she didn't seem to quite get home when third over 1m in a good Ascot novice next time (good to firm); below that level when fifth of ten at Chester (7f, good; raced freely) 40 days ago but the way she kicked clear before being caught suggests she is worth a go over this shorter trip (related to 6f winners); interesting on handicap debut.

Novice form was progressive, winning on AW at Kempton (1m) in January before finishing fourth in a strong race at Ascot; yet to shine in handicaps but testing ground may have been against her at Sandown last time and she's well treated on her novice form if the combination of a first-time tongue-tie and return to AW sparks a return to form.

Has raced at 1m+ since debut, following an emphatic maiden win on Kempton AW in January with a creditable show at Ascot (also 1m) in April; the big fillies' handicap over that trip at Royal Ascot was too much to ask and so was 1m2f on soft at Windsor since; can race freely so the return to 7f is worth a go; cheekpieces fitted.
