Form & Verdict
Promising 7f debut and she more than backed that up when sticking her neck out for a Sandown win (7f, soft) in August, form that turned out to be useful; can improve for 1m; holds a 1,000 Guineas entry; good claims.

Just three runs but her Sandown win (7f, soft) on second start turned out very useful form with the second doing really well after and the next three also successful since; her comeback third in a Nottingham novice (about 1m, good) was perfectly satisfactory; interesting newcomer to handicaps.

Churchill filly who was the rank outsider in a field of six newcomers at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) but showed promise with her third-place finish; sets the form standard, albeit facing some interesting debutantes who could be smart.

Showed plenty in two of her first three starts, most significantly over 1m at Salisbury (good to firm) in August; disappointing favourite on AW in October but she should be in contention on the previous turf run.

Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in August but disappointed in October after a break; plugged on without threatening when fifth at Nottingham on her reappearance in April and she'll need to tap back into that Salisbury promise to make an impact on this handicap debut; newly fitted hood might help, though.

Maiden who acquitted herself well in some tough 5f races as 2yo, particularly when third in her group in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; returned with a good third of six in a fillies' conditions race on Kempton AW (1m) in March but subsequent defeats in novice events haven't approached that form; goes handicapping over 6f with a query to answer.
