Progressive last year, with Listed win at York's Ebor meeting (1m4f, good to firm), and after reappearing with a Listed second at Goodwood (1m4f, good) she went one better in the Group 3 Bronte Cup at York (1m6f, good); vulnerable if Estrange is at the top of her game but she's the stand-out danger.

Rapid headway last year once fitted with cheekpieces and front-running, winning four handicaps at about 1m4f on varying ground; second in Listed race at Ascot (1m6f) in October and, after wind surgery, ran well again at that level when fifth at Goodwood (1m4f; nearly 3l behind Scenic) on reappearance; the best of today's rivals demand more, though, if they are on song.

Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected.

Form & Verdict
Made an eyecatching debut last October, comfortably went one better in a 1m4f maiden at Southwell in November and very firmly in charge in a 1m4f novice at Kempton this month; they were all on AW, so today's surface poses one question; it's also a serious step up in class but it's hard to put a ceiling on just how good she is and she shapes as if she will stay.
