Good progress last year and she's been back on the up on her last two starts, third at Haydock before finishing fourth in a Group 1 at Royal Ascot; beaten over 4l on that occasion but the first two home are high-quality performers and she wasn't far behind a smart filly in third; could have further progress in her.

Began the campaign with two heavy defeats but she was reinvigorated by cheekpieces at York last month and hit a major new high in them in a Group 3 at this track (6f) eight days later, winning at 33-1 by nearly 2l from King's Gamble; fine chance if that form is repeated but, although she ran three times over 7f in 2022, she's not crying out for a return to this trip on the recent evidence.
