Has only ever won three races but there's no doubting how smart she is when getting good to firm ground, as when beaten by only American Affair in the 2025 running and a later third to Asfoora in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York; it's easy to excuse two defeats in 2026 and look forward to another solid show.

Made all in Listed race here (6f, good to firm) last May and placed in two 5f Group 1s subsequently; in the mix on best form and she's a lot better than she showed at Newmarket on her return, but has to leave that heavy defeat well behind; cheekpieces go on; slight doubt about slow ground.

A record of two wins from 16 turf starts in no way does justice to the Group 1 form she's capable of, such as a close second in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and a third to Asfoora in the Nunthorpe at York (both 5f, good to firm); the likely fast ground is a blessing and has good claims if on song.
