100,000gns yearling, a sister to the 6f 2yo winner Ribhi (RPR 99); raced freely and weakened on last month's Yarmouth debut (6f maiden fillies; seventh of eight, 4-1); this drop back in trip should suit, but the forecast rain mightn't necessarily aid; stablemate of Whisperwood.

Won 5f novice at Bath for previous trainer and a 7f handicap on Newcastle AW for this one last December; beaten in three handicaps since and although she might have needed the latest one, when back on turf at Lingfield (7f, good) after a break, she's likely to need more back at 1m.
