Went close in Group 3 Sweet Solera at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last August and again ran well when fourth of five in Group 2 at Longchamp (1m, soft) in September; however, well beaten in Group 3/Listed races (7f/6f, good) on her two starts this spring and has to get back on track.

Stylish winner of 6f Ascot novice in July and bettered that form when runner-up in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket (7f) and fourth in a Longchamp Group 2 (1m) in the autumn; hooded for her reappearance but she beat only one home in Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury; headgear quickly dispensed with.

Gained her novice win at Ascot (6f) then showed Group form that comprised a close second at Newmarket (7f) and fourth of five at Longchamp (1m); holds a respectable chance on bare ratings in first-time hood.

Form & Verdict
Failed to justify favouritism but fared best of the newcomers in maiden at Newmarket July festival (6f, good to firm) and is the clear form pick in this field; brings an RPR that isn't daunting for the debutantes, admittedly, but has the potential to better that figure.
