Won her first three starts before close second in Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) in June; below par in French Listed race (5f, good) and the Super Sprint (5f, good) on next two runs; of interest on her best form and perhaps a break will have helped, but returns with something to prove.

Came up short when favourite for French Listed event two weeks ago but she comes into the reckoning on her close second in a Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) the time before; represents a yard with a wealth of talent in the juvenile department and commands plenty of respect.

Raced mainly at 5f; won Doncaster novice (good to soft) last summer and bettered that form when fifth to Revival Power in Doncaster Group 2 (80-1) in September; doubled his tally when producing career best to make all in Chester handicap (good) on Friday; drawn on the wing but could be the sort to run above himself.

It's possible 6f suits better but some of last autumn's good nursery/Listed form came at 5f and she was beaten only 2l from a wide draw when sixth of 12 at Chester (6f, good) last Wednesday; not ruled out each-way.
