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.

Not gone on from last August's debut second here, falling well below market expectations on her comeback three weeks ago; said to have raced freely that day, upped to 1m, and will need to settle going further again.

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.

Progress on third start (7f, Tapeta) and she took another step forward when running on well to win a 1m nursery at Kempton three weeks ago; hit with a 4lb rise but the subsequent wins of the third, fourth and fifth give the form some serious ballast; could well have more to offer.

Patchy form in four starts, the clear highlight when second of nine at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; down the field in a Glorious Goodwood nursery last time, while her two runs on AW were her worst on RPRs; Doncaster run sets the standard but it's hard to know what to expect today.

J: Sean D Bowen

Convincingly beaten when third on both outings this year (1m/1m2f, AW) and she's 0-8; however, she's run just twice on turf and the first occasion produced her career-best RPR, when going close at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last June; the other run on grass was on heavy going last July; the return to turf could be a major positive for this 3yo.
