Form & Verdict
Won a Salisbury novice (1m2f, good to firm) in May on her second start; good second on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July but she flopped as favourite when trying 1m4f on AW debut over three weeks later; after four races, she should still be unexposed.

C&D winner (good to firm) last May on her second start; ran well in all three handicaps over this trip (flopped over 1m4f) afterwards, winning at Newmarket in October off 6lb lower; she will need to improve again to defy this mark but after just six starts it is not out of the question.

Flopped when trying 1m4f on AW debut on penultimate start; has done well otherwise, including with 1m2f wins in a Salisbury novice (good to firm) in May and Newmarket handicap (good) three weeks ago; second on her only run on soft; after just five races, she could have more to offer.

Won once as a 2yo and also when making all in six-runner handicap at Leicester (1m2f, good) in September; a little below that form under a penalty at Yarmouth (11.4f, soft) eight days later, again front-running, but should be more interesting now dropped back in trip.

Six seconds and two thirds from her eight races; best of those was in a handicap at the York Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but she was turned over at long odds-on in a maiden on latest, which has to prompt some caution despite that being her AW debut.

Well held on soft on her only 2yo run; won at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in May on return and went close on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; that saw her start second favourite at the York Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to firm) but, after racing up with the pace from a wide draw, she dropped out tamely; interesting to see if her backers return.

Won at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second start and, after an unplaced Listed run at Newbury, she went close on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last time; this very lightly raced 3yo is in excellent hands to continue to progress and is a major player up 2lb.

Readily justified favouritism in Ascot maiden in May, stepping up plenty on her 2yo effort; 7-1, faded into eighth of ten in Listed race at Newbury (again 1m2f on good to firm) when an eight-day break was perhaps not ideal but it was still an improved RPR; unexposed handicap newcomer.
