One of six of these in the Cheveley Park; four-time winner at 5f and both her defeats have come at 6f; however, it wasn't the trip that beat her in a valuable sales race at York as she appeared to get outpaced before keeping on; has Listed/Super Sprint honours to her name and some course form also ticks a box.

Splendidly tough juvenile filly who got up late to bag the valuable Super Sprint (5f, good) in July and took her form to a new level when gamely landing the Group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury (6f, soft) in September; couldn't make a dent in Group 1 Cheveley Park on her final start of the term but that's easily excused and she's a fascinating candidate on this reappearance/AW debut.

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.

Has to rebound from a nothing run in the Nell Gwyn in April but perhaps it's better to judge her on 2yo form, which included a second to the brilliant Venetian Sun in the 6f Albany at this meeting and another fine run in a 7f Group 3; both those efforts were on good to firm and pedigree bodes well for this first step up to 1m; her profile isn't a million miles away from Soprano's who won this for the same connections two years ago; possibilities.
