Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though.

Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard.

Justified favouritism in 1m2f AW maiden at Newcastle where she was the sole newcomer in a field of five; the form isn't compelling but she's a Sea The Stars filly who looks open to progress.

Lightly raced for Michael Bell but won a 1m2f AW maiden and was close up in a Goodwood handicap; that Flat form is the best on show here and it was an encouraging start over hurdles when not beaten far in a maiden for mares at Kempton (staying on; good to soft); considered.

Sole win from seven starts came in Tipperary maiden last year and on the face of it she's down the Ballydoyle pecking order; soundly beaten when Listed fifth at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last time but she didn't enjoy a clear run and her pedigree suggests she will relish this step up in trip, with her dam having won this race for connections in 2018; stayed on well for second in Group 3 Park Express Stakes (1m, good) in April; interesting outsider.

Dictated the pace and held on narrowly in Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in May and five-runner Group 2 at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in July; upset a hot favourite in the latter and perhaps being unable to make the running played against her when well beaten in the Oaks in between, with the Epsom track another excuse, but she still has huge work to do if she's to turn the tables on Minnie Hauk.
