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.

T: Hugo Palmer

Made all in one 1m novice as a 2yo and very nearly did so in another; 11-1 fourth of ten in Listed race here (1m, good to soft; Sacred Ground was second) on final start illustrated some limitations, sticking to her task well as if this longer trip would suit but, despite the Oaks entry, she probably has serious work to do in this company too.
