Form & Verdict
Like so many of her stable's 2yos she's having a productive season, and she posted a personal best when making all in nursery at Ayr (7f, good to soft) in September; not many of these have shown better form and she should be just as effective back at 1m.

Built upon the promise of her debut second (5f, good) to win at Carlisle in July (7f, good to soft), and she was third of five in a valuable novice at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; begins handicap life on a fair mark and could continue to improve for her top northern trainer.

Made all in novice at Thirsk (1m, good) in August and went down only narrowly under a penalty at Kempton (1m, AW) the following month; may have more to offer but she's in deeper here and will need some improvement.

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

Pretty useful form in Listed races on last two starts as 2yo and she duly won a Bath maiden this April; never-dangerous sixth of ten in Group 2 German 1,000 Guineas (1m, soft) latest is her best form and this new trip is not out of the question, but others have accomplished more and/or shown more potential.
