5-7 in 2yo season, a campaign that culminated with Group 3 win at Chantilly (7f, very soft); the drop back in trip could be a positive but she's been well beaten on both starts this season, most recently in the French 1,000 Guineas; carries a 5lb penalty and a major turnaround is needed.

Scopey filly who has got on a roll and wasn't overly pressed to complete her four-timer when making most in a nursery at the St Leger meeting over Doncaster's extended 6f (good to soft; has won on good to firm); gets in here off an advantageous weight having fetched 12,000gns as a yearling; clear claims.

Appears to have a good chance on these terms, but she is proving more consistent than progressive and could only manage fourth of eight when sent off 4-7 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month (two heads behind Mystic Music); should again run her race, but far from solid.

Promising debut third at Yarmouth (7f) for previous trainer and can't be entirely blamed for later defeats that year; two fair efforts for new yard, finding only a well-supported newcomer too good at Ripon (1m, good to firm) recently; looks competitive under Billy Loughnane, who's 1-4 for the yard.
