Prescott filly who has been struggling at novice level and should be more interesting when qualified for a mark.

Having another quick run and has failed to beat a rival so far (6f/7f); likely to come into her own once handicapping over a longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Price shot up from £50,000 as yearling to 450,000euros at a breeze-up sale in May; attracted some support into 9-1 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and she kept on under a prominent ride to finish a clear second behind an emphatic winner; that was a promising start and this looks a golden opportunity.

Runner-up twice for previous yard; down the field at Lingfield (AW) on stable/handicap/seasonal debut but may do better with the outing under her belt.

T: Harry Eustace

Runner-up in a pair of novices at Doncaster (7f) and Chelmsford (1m) before beating just one home in 7f Chelmsford maiden on her final run for Alice Haynes; it would come as no surprise to see this Wootton Bassett filly bounce back on yard/handicap debut.
