Ready winner on debut at Ayr last August (7f) and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts to be runner-up in first handicap this June (8.3f, Hamilton); second crack at 1m2f when beaten 6l into third at the scene of her win latest; that trip may want revisiting at some stage but she makes some appeal over 1m here.

Four 7f handicap wins on good/good to firm since May; travelled well in lead for long way when third of six off this mark at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; three of her wins were gained at sharp Cattrerick and she could be speedy enough to cope with a drop back to 6f.

Frankel filly; first foal out of a 7f winner (including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 113), half-sister to winners Bells On Her Toes (Listed-placed 7f) and Surely Not (7f/1m including 2yo); pedigree suggests some ease in the ground won't be an issue and there's lots to like on paper for a stable that won this with newcomers in 2022 and 2024.

Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May and good third at Ripon (5f, good) next time; she's back down to a handy mark but has gone off the boil on her last three starts; needs to get back on track in a first-time visor.

Off the mark at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower; has ruined her chance on latest starts by being fractious in the stalls at Beverley last month, and racing too freely at Ayr last Monday; needs to settle better.
