Won debut in big-field 7f novice at York last July and third in a Group 3 next time; however, she's not approached the latter form in her four starts since, on handicap debut latest; down 5lb but questions to answer.

J: Kaiya Fraser

Won debut and third in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good to firm) last August; disappointing in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m) on final 2yo run and below form in Listed race at York (1m, good to firm) in May on her only start this term but made headway to dispute the lead over 2f out in the latter and may have needed the race; lightly raced and probably bred to stay 1m2f.

Form & Verdict
Has had a wonderful season and no sign of her flagging when gaining a seventh win, over 7f at Ayr (soft) nine days ago; up 8lb; has been back at that trip since 1m win in July but has stamina influences in pedigree (a sibling won at up to 1m4f here for this yard) and remains of interest.

Successful seven times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to winning ways at Carlisle (1m) in July but she went too freely when ninth of ten in 1m Ayr handicap 13 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.

Gained a first win of 2026 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago, getting up late to deny Inspired having been set a lot to do; bagged a remarkable seven successes (including here) last season so merits serious consideration now she's up and running this time around.
