Well-bred filly who cost 3,700,000gns as a yearling; ran well in the Nell Gwyn kept to 7f at Newmarket on seasonal debut; showed no further progress in 1m Listed event at York since but is the sort who should do better still; one of the main players on ratings.

Won at Newmarket (7f, good) last October on second start and kept on for third on reappearance in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn there (7f, good) last month; this half-sister to Group 1 Fillies' Mile winner Ylang Ylang is open to further improvement now tackling 1m and could have a part to play.

3,700,000gns yearling; half-sister to a Fillies' Mile winner; favourite for C&D maidens last autumn, finishing third behind Mubasimah then responding to pressure to get the job done (on good ground) next time, despite still seeming green; a potential Group filly, given her profile, and commands respect.

Unplaced all five outings, although not beaten far at Wolverhampton on third run last term; needs to build on seventh of 12 at Haydock (7f) on return, and today's drop back in distance may help.
