45,000gns yearling; family of 1m4f Group 2 winner Bronze Cannon; 14-1 and looked good when readily drawing clear to win a Newbury maiden (7f, good to firm; Crystal Pier sixth, Crazee Icon eighth) on debut three weeks ago; holds a Group 2 entry and she's a big player under the penalty; yard continues in ripping form.

Beaten only once in five outings; crowned her 2yo campaign with a gutsy success in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) and got this year off to the best possible start with a clearcut win in Listed race at Haydock (1m, good); handled good to soft ground well when winning valuable sales race at Doncaster last autumn; upwardly mobile filly with a big chance.

Beaten only once in four outings as a 2yo, crowning the campaign with a gutsy success in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good); should have no problem getting 1m; still has untapped potential and she's an interesting candidate if ready to roll after ten months off.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when scoring on Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW) in May; backed that up with a close call at this track (1m, good to firm) but her progress stalled with a disappointing run at Newmarket last time; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added; stablemate of Molo Del Palazzo.

Some promise in two 7f maidens but looked in need of the experience both times, latterly when fifth of 13 at Glorious Goodwood on ground officially heavy that was likely not that deep; almost certainly capable of better but could do with getting her act together.

All three turf wins have been on good ground, including two Group-race successes at San Siro over 1m, most recently in the Italian 1,000 Guineas in May; below her best in three starts since and may be high in the weights for now; drops back to 7f with cheekpieces applied.
