Wootton Bassett filly out of a 7f Group 3 turf winner, though both half-siblings to have scored so far did so in sprints on Tapeta; yard's one 2yo win so far in 2025 came in an identical C&D contest last month.

Was a 7f maiden winner on soft at Doncaster last year for James Ferguson and some decent runs safter; solid yard debut over 1m at Punchestown for this yard; could go well down to this trip; cheekpieces.

Beaten nearly 7l when fifth on last month's Newmarket debut (6f, good to firm), but nicely backed there (12s into 6-1) and kept on again as if already having little use for sprint distances; yard's first 2yo winner of 2025 last week was another stepping up in trip on its second outing.
