In-form filly who scraped home at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm) in June before going fairly close at Newcastle (12.5f, AW) one month later; goes up in grade again but she's getting better and needs respecting.

Minor form improvement on all starts, getting off the mark (fifth attempt) when 4-6 in a four-runner handicap at Hamilton (1m3f) on latest; carried her head a bit high that day but had to battle to lead on the line; up 3lb for this AW debut but she's a lightly raced 3yo who may still do better.

Kept on for promising fourth in 1m2f novice at Sandown (good) on reappearance then beaten just over 4l when sixth of nine on handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); that latest form has worked out extremely well and this unexposed 3yo can play a leading role.

Runner-up sole start at two; much her best effort when stepped up to 1m4f here a fortnight ago (again found just one too good); potential improver now handicapping and William Buick, who is 22% for the yard in the last five years, is a positive booking.

Promising second on her debut at Yarmouth last October and reappeared with an 8l fifth of ten at Sandown (1m2f, good) in a race won by the subsequent Musidora runner-up; ran to a similar level when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, soft) in May when last seen and leaves the impression this longer trip will suit.

Sea The Stars half-sister to the same connections' Oaks winner Soul Sister; arrives on an upward curve after easy novice win at Lingfield and unlucky second in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; stayed on well after being short of room); plenty to find on bare form in this higher grade but she should be well suited by this step up in trip and cannot be discounted.
