Never out of the first two in seven races and arrives here on a wave of improvement after going close in a Group 2 at Goodwood last month (1m, good to firm; won on soft and performed well on heavy); raised another level here but wouldn't be too dismissive should conditions take a turn for the worse.

Listed runner-up on reappearance at Epsom (7f, good to soft) in June then went one better in good style in Listed race at Carlisle (7f, soft; even-money favourite); this is a much tougher test of her credentials and she's unraced on good/faster, but she's unexposed and open to further progress.

Now looks a bargain at 5,000gns (bought in May), as after a successful debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; narrowly) she defied odds of 66-1 and a bad draw to finish second behind a stylish winner in a Listed race at Sandown (good); the third has since performed quite well in a Group 3; needs respecting.
