Form & Verdict
Ran to a similar level in three AW starts last autumn (7f-1m); dam was a sprinter, so she has stamina to prove on her turf debut, back from six months off, but she about sets the standard.

Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards.

Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting.

Form & Verdict
Best effort, upped to this trip on her turf debut, at Ascot a fortnight ago; will find this less competitive and there's little to choose between her and Bosphorus Rose on these terms.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt when narrowly coming out on top in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and is respected.

0-14 but achieved some minor honours over 1m-1m4f on AW this year and another when staying-on fourth of nine at Bath (1m2f, good) on latest start; arguably has a bit to prove over this far.

0-13 but she did achieve some minor honours over 1m-1m4f on AW this year, which gives her a chance if the form is transferred to turf.

240,000gns yearling who started slowly and had little chance trying to come from off a muddling pace in 1m Newcastle event three weeks ago; will have learned plenty from that.

T: William Haggas

Steadily progressive daughter of Wootton Bassett who made a successful handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f) in July; aggressively ridden when a good fourth of eight at Yarmouth (11.5f) a week ago so she's a likely player off the same mark for yard well among the winners.

9st 7lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Made most and rallied well to win at Epsom (1m2f) in July on handicap debut, officially on good ground but probably good to firm; it had rained when disappointing favourite off this 4lb higher mark at Sandown (1m2f, good) two weeks later, chasing leaders before finding little; she's a player on the Epsom win and, as a 3yo, could have more to give.
