Lightly raced 4yo whose record last year read 131 including a win in a Kempton maiden (7f, Polytrack); needs to put a poor performance on her return at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in January well behind her, though, and she has been off another four months since.

Form & Verdict
She has improved with each of her four runs, getting off the mark with a ready win at Ffos Las four weeks ago (7.4f, good to soft); travelled well through that race and although she wasn't doing much in front, she left the impression there was more in the tank; up 4lb against stronger opposition and on faster ground but she's open to further progress.

Both AW runs have been at Kempton and after winning there last month (1m) she ran a cracker in defeat back over 7f at York, finishing second of 18; only 2lb higher than for that Class 2 effort and she's an uncomplicated filly who has to go well.

Impressive 7f debut on this track (good to soft) in April 2024 but the 1,000 Guineas next time was too much to ask; seemingly failed to stay 7f on handicap debut at Sandown last June and although she might yet make a sprinter there are some large questions to answer back from absence.

For one so inexperienced it was a big ask in the 1,000 Guineas and she was duly sunk without trace; while that's readily forgiven, the form of her debut win at Newbury (7f, good to soft) hasn't worked out at all well; a hard filly to judge from a handicapping perspective.
