Form & Verdict
Handicap mark took a 12lb hit for finishing close up in a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last month (good) but she might have won that had it panned out differently (poorly positioned); surprising that she stays 1m2f given her pedigree, and this stiff 1m could be just the ticket; it's hard to know how far her current momentum might take her; considered.

Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in May on second start and runner-up the next twice, most recently on handicap debut in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); further improvement is necessary today but her dam was a Group 1 winner and there can be optimism she will continue to progress for a top stable that has won two of the last three runnings; one to consider.

Relinquished her unbeaten record in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile last October; impressive debut winner over 7f (sole run on fast ground) and evidently not short of speed, having coped well with 6f in the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (good to soft) next time; however, elements of her pedigree suggest she'll stay 1m and the potential is there to revert back to Group races sooner rather than later; could easily have the class to cope with her big weight on handicap debut; first-time blinkers suggest connections mean business.
