Never out of the first two in seven races and arrives here on a wave of improvement after going close in a Group 2 at Goodwood last month (1m, good to firm; won on soft and performed well on heavy); raised another level here but wouldn't be too dismissive should conditions take a turn for the worse.

Relinquished her unbeaten record in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile last October; impressive debut winner over 7f (sole run on fast ground) and evidently not short of speed, having coped well with 6f in the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (good to soft) next time; however, elements of her pedigree suggest she'll stay 1m and the potential is there to revert back to Group races sooner rather than later; could easily have the class to cope with her big weight on handicap debut; first-time blinkers suggest connections mean business.
