First foal from a talented 7f-1m winner; failed to live up to market expectations when fifth of nine on Newbury debut (7f, good to firm; 6-5 favourite) in July; afforded plenty of time since, so could flourish now with the benefit of that initial experience to draw upon.

Opened account at eighth attempt, with clearcut success in five-runner Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but the runner-up has won in that grade since and this filly might still have more to offer.

Sister to two winners and half-sister to four more, including First Instinct (5f-6f including 2yo; RPR 108); clear signs of inexperience when fifth of ten on Doncaster debut (7f; 10-1) six weeks ago; there's stamina in her family and she appeals as the type to do better eventually.

Trainer, who boasts a good record with 3yos here down the seasons, won this 12 months ago; this filly is the pick on form but another expensive defeat last time leaves her with something to prove and she'll need to settle better than has often been the case, back up in trip minus the hood.
