Made debut in May and finished third on first two starts (1m2f, good/good to firm) before winning Kempton maiden (1m3f, AW), coming clear with one who easily went one better next time; this Dubawi filly could have lots more left in the tank for her top connections and is one to consider.

No match for stablemate Spirited Style when third at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second start but she's won her next two, most recently a Listed race on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to soft); looks the Godolphin second-string but could still have a part to play.

Left it late to win a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster last September (good to soft; fine on quicker) and confirmed herself progressive with a third at Listed level next time (1m5f AW); an untouched mark might still be on the high side, but there could easily be more to come at four.
