2-2 in AW novices last year and she retained her unbeaten record on handicap debut at Doncaster (also 6f, good to firm) in May; drop to 5f and soft ground didn't see her replicate her best in Ayr Listed event four weeks ago but better can be expected in this scenario.

Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly.

Unraced as 2yo but her Newbury debut was promising last term and she followed it with an Ayr maiden win (6f, good to firm); seen only twice more that year, ending with a low-key run in Listed event, and she was beaten a long way at Newmarket on her return from eight months off; however, she showed a glimmer of hope before dropping out and Tom Marquand has his first ride of 2026 for the yard (2-9 in the last five years); trainer won this in 2024.

Made her debut only ten months ago and she bagged an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) in August on second start; couldn't defy a penalty on AW next time, while a swing at a Listed race proved beyond her when last seen; look for market interest on this handicap/seasonal debut.

Steady progress with each of her three runs, justifying odds of 1-2 when making all in Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last month; will need further improvement now tackling a handicap, but she's well-bred, in excellent hands and promises to be at least as effective over today's longer distance.

200,000euros yearling; half-sister to some smart winners including Lope Y Fernandez (6f-1m including 2yo Group 3; RPR 118); shaped with some promise on C&D debut last September and she built on that when a clear second behind a useful prospect on her Windsor comeback (6f, good to firm) last month; should benefit from that run and she's a key player for in-form yard.
