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.

6f maiden winner last season on soft ground; easily her best form was encouragingly on her reappearance on good to firm at Wetherby (7f handicap) where she was in rear for the most part but led late on for a length success; further progress is by no means out of the question for yard that won this in 2018 and last year.

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.

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.

Has found new reserves of late, gaining back-to-back wins over 6f (good to firm) and 7f (AW) before building up a head of steam to take a late third against the older fillies at Newmarket (6f) recently; might prefer a stiffer test than this sharp 6f but still hard to leave out.
