Despite being outpaced she ran out a comfortable winner on debut at Ayr (7f, good) last August; disappointing on sole run since, at Kempton (1m, AW) last October, but she retains potential and this sort of trip may well be right up her street; could have a big part to play.

Took a while to get the hang of racing on her Ayr debut (7f, good) nine weeks ago but she was strong at the finish, eventually coming home over 3l clear of the runner-up; that form nothing out of the ordinary but 1m should suit and she holds solid claims despite the penalty.

Had some traffic issues when an eyecatcher on Newcastle debut (6f, AW) in June but she finished a well-held fifth again when upped to 7f there last month; still early days but has quite a lot to find on the figures and nurseries will more suitable.

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.

Her third 2yo run represented a jolt of improvement but she failed to build on it when last of four on her handicap debut in February (33-1); a 1lb drop in the weights is not enough to tempt this time.

Biggish prices in all three starts but she shaped with promise when a 4l fourth in Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) in October; opening mark looks on the high side but it's still early days and she needs watching in market on her return.
