Won on debut here (6f, good) last August and beaten on next two starts (6f; including Group 3) before convincing handicap win at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) this month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but she impressed last time and her dam was a Group 3 winner; trainer saddled two 3yos to dead-heat for first in this race 12 months ago; one to consider.

All races at 6f, winning on debut at Goodwood but having a difficult task when third in a Group 3 at Salisbury on her next and final juvenile start; never looked comfortable over the trip on belated return in an AW novice at Southwell last month but her powerful finish into fourth strongly suggests she'll improve for an extra furlong now handicapping; considered.

62,000gns yearling; didn't live up to market expectations on Windsor debut (6f, good; 4-1) last month but there was a flag start and that was run during a heavy downpour; should be more streetwise this time and interesting to see if money arrives for her again.

Form & Verdict
Her dam won at this trip and is closely related to a 6f Group 1 2yo winner; weak 9-1 shot on recent Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) but she made eyecatching progress from off the pace and was only narrowly beaten by the favourite; that was a promising start and she's an interesting contender.

Off the mark at the third attempt at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last October and took another step forward when sixth of 19 in Listed race at Newmarket later that month (6f, good; unraced on softer); with a good trainer and she's open to further improvement, but it's very much necessary today.

Big improvement when runner-up at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June and she ran to a similar level when second at Newmarket next time; sets the standard on that form but she was last of five in a Sandown nursery (5f, good) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back after that.
