By Pinatubo; second foal; half-sister to 6f winner Almeraq (including 2yo; RPR 109); dam unraced half-sister to winners Fairyland (5f/6f Group 1 including 2yo) and Now Or Never (Australian 7f Group 2), out of unraced half-sister to 6f/7f Group 1 winner Dream Ahead; holds no fancy entries but that's an eye-catching pedigree for leading stable; market can help on this debut.

Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.

Came on plenty for each 2yo run, making all in a 7f maiden on Wolverhampton AW in November; plenty to like about her reappearance in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good) recently, where she initially failed to pick up but came home nicely to finish a close third of 13; should come on for the run and go well back over 7f; yard has won three of the last seven runnings.

J: Saffie Osborne

Made all in Wolverhampton maiden (7f, AW) to take her 2yo record to 321; likely to be as effective back down in distance; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps for her major connections; attractively weighted near the bottom of the card and is one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
110,000gns yearling; 9-1 for her debut at Catterick (6f, good) but it was an inauspicious start when last of five, beaten 21l, three weeks ago; stable has much stronger claims with Zighy and she's best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

All starts at 6f; made inauspicious turf debut then modest form in two AW novices; respected yard and step up in trip on handicap debut the straws to clutch at; worth a market check ahead of her return.

Cost 110,000gns as a yearling but was tailed off on Catterick debut (6f, good) in August and she finished a well-held fifth of six at Yarmouth last month; still early days but was behind Albaydaa last time and she remains best watched for now.

Three fair efforts in sprint maiden/novice events; going back over 6f should be in her favour and she could take a step forward now handicapping.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt as a 2yo, winning a 6f fillies' novice decisively; stronger form when coming from off the pace to win a Class 4 handicap at Southwell last month but she was beaten fair and square at Yarmouth two weeks later (7f, good to firm); return to 6f can help but Champonie may prove the yard's main hope.

Steadily going the right way, on last two starts winning in a novice at Wolverhampton in November and handicap debut at Southwell 15 days ago; both of those were 6f on AW under good claimer Jack Callan; up 6lb but strength at the finish last time makes 7f today an appealing option.
