Ran to an ordinary RPR but shaped with promise, keeping on under hands and heels, in Newbury contest (6f, good to firm); bigger effort looks on the cards.

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.

Six-race maiden; kept of for third when upped to 8.4f and fitted with cheekpieces at Beverley (good to firm) this month and looks worth a crack at this even longer trip but others in this field have more persuasive profiles.

Fair juvenile maiden who posted a solid fifth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in May; had too much use made of her when ninth at Sandown (7f) last month and no surprise to see this Mehmas filly get back on track here with cheekpieces added.

Progressive 2yo campaign culminated in fine second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf; below par in Listed race at York (possibly needed run) and Group 3 at Epsom (ground possibly softer than ideal) this term; some questions to answer but she's a leading player if back to her best.
