Appealing pedigree but she made a low-key debut when tailed off at Lingfield (7f, AW) in August; visor quickly reached for; can do better in time.

Form & Verdict
February foal by Galileo Gold; 11-2 and encouraging start when second of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack; Onwardupward fifth) a fortnight ago, briefly clawing her way to the front before keeping on well; normal progress would see her firmly in the mix.

Runner-up twice in a row in June (7f/1m, soft/good to firm; including here) before winning at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; down the field at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when pulling hard but it's possible today's first attempt at 6f will be a good move.
