J: Connor Beasley

T: Gemma Tutty

Sole win from 11 starts came on the AW at Southwell in April, but she was unlucky not to press the progressive Naana's Shadow even closer in the 3yo dash at Epsom (5f, good); hasn't matched that level in three starts since but drops in grade and a strong pace would suit this headstrong filly.

Highly capable on her day, as when going close in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) in June; a case can be made on that form but this headstrong filly has been well beaten on both starts since and has something to prove.

Capable of much better than she showed on good to soft ground at Hamilton six weeks ago, such as when dashing home, after finally getting a clear run, to divide Naana's Shadow and Shes Got A Brother in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (good); no surprise to see her revive back on more suitable ground.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the drop to 5f when 1.5l too strong for Call Margot over C&D in February; defied a 7lb rise when narrowly winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago, form that was given a handsome boost when the runner-up won at Lingfield on Good Friday; another 4lb higher today but there could well be more in the tank and her attitude will continue to stand her in good stead.

T: Rod Millman

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice over C&D before winning a 5f novice at Wolverhampton in October (when trained by Alice Haynes; picked up for 20,000gns by new connections one month later); remains open to further progress but the absence of her usual tongue tie sounds a note of caution.
