Form & Verdict

Well-bred filly who was a promising fourth at Gowran Park (1m, heavy) in the autumn, on the second of two runs for Ger Lyons; returns after six months off but she's a half-sister to an AW winner and needs a close look for new yard.

Form & Verdict

Out of a 7f Group 1 winner; always behind and finished a well-held seventh at Leicester (7f, good to soft; 14-1) in September; with a top yard but she's drawn out wide on her return and needs to leave that initial form well behind.
