The horse she narrowly defied at Goodwood (6f, good) was well behind Reimagined on her debut but this filly won that day in spite of getting no cover and her yard won this with a once-raced winner 12 months ago; respected.

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.

Perhaps a shade disappointing when upped to 7f for soft-ground Listed race on final 2yo start but won Hamilton maiden (6f, soft) in September and the form of her close second at Goodwood (6f, good) in August reads well; still has untapped potential over this trip and beyond; interesting.

Went close at Goodwood (6f, good) on second start and went one better in a maiden at Hamilton (6f, soft) on latest, albeit by a head at 4-6; can still do better (including with this trip) and needs a close look.

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.
