Generally progressive 3yo filly who has won two races; ran well in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f) and handicap at the York Ebor festival (1m2f) the last twice; form has substance; commands respect.

Easy win at Hamilton (1m1f, good) in May on second handicap run and soft ground may not have suited at Goodwood next time; creditable Listed third at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm) since and that form has been boosted here this week; this progressive 3yo could have a big part to play if conditions suit.

Made it two wins from her four starts when easily winning a Class 3 handicap here (1m1f, good) in May; stamina to prove today and she was only fifth in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last time, but the ground may not have suited and she remains one to be interested in, especially back here.

5-19 overall, with form on all sorts of surfaces (unraced here); in good heart until finishing nowhere in a Class 2 handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting; third at Goodwood 13 days ago was in a valuable seller but below her best form; 7lb out of handicap makes this tough in first-time headgear.

Progressed well in 2025 (a three-time winner around 1m) until hooded and only 13th in Saint-Cloud Listed event (1m) on her final run in November; headgear is quickly dispensed with and she appeals as the sort to do well again in 2026.

She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far.
