Thrice-raced filly who ran well, one place behind Moon Target, in Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) most recently; gained her maiden win at Glorious Goodwood on good to soft (based on times); yard won this race in 2017 and 2023; may be capable of further progress.

Cost 600,000gns as yearling; twice-raced filly who is promising and looks an ideal type for this race, having recorded a clearcut success in 7f maiden at Glorious Goodwood last time on ground that, judged on times, was two notches faster than the official heavy; respected.

Sent off 9-2 but looked in need of the initial experience when 11th of 14 in novice at Newbury (6f, good) 17 days ago; this Showcasing filly appeals as the sort to improve a fair bit so she's no forlorn hope.

0-5 but she's finished runner-up twice, including at Kempton (7f) on her final run last autumn; this is a deeper race but she's been generally progressive so far and should be unfazed by this drop back in trip; each-way claims back from from 170 days off.

Her third 2yo run represented a jolt of improvement but she failed to build on it when last of four on her handicap debut in February (33-1); a 1lb drop in the weights is not enough to tempt this time.
