In the frame in four of her six runs since joining James Tate, keeping on well for second at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; more to prove on turf though and others look stronger.

Has been brought along steadily, a patiently ridden fifth of eight in 1m maiden here 25 days ago; not out of things on her handicap debut with the longer trip a plus for this Teofilo filly.

Last month's Chelmsford fifth (1m) was a good step forward from her 2yo debut effort; another leap forward is necessary to take this.

Down the field at Brighton in one 2yo run (7f, soft), after which he was gelded; better effort when fourth of 11 at Southwell five weeks ago (1m; hooded first time); open to improvement but likely it will be needed to win.

Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Raja Raja (1m4f AW; RPR 104) and Chola Empire (7f AW including 2yo; 85); dam 6f/7f AW winner (including 2yo; 83), out of unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Keraka; represents in-form yard and he needs a close look on debut.

Form & Verdict
Sent off a much shorter price than her winning stablemate in a valuable 7f maiden at Musselburgh in November and she went through that race with much more promise than her finishing position suggests, unable to get a clear run at things for much of the home straight; although the form hasn't really worked out, she could do much better this year.

This maiden is more exposed than some and not convincing on the stamina front in a couple of tries over 1m; also needs to improve on recent AW efforts.

Went close in a novice over C&D last month before finishing fifth at Kempton over 1m 17 days ago, not picking up as well as might have been expected early in the straight; the drop back in trip should suit and she has cheekpieces added.

Has shown ability in two of her three starts, the latest when beaten a head into second of five at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 16 days ago; will probably need to improve again if she to win this, though; stable also runs Miss Mambo.
