Lightly raced filly who ran an eye-catching trial for this when third of nine to Radiant Beauty and Song N Dance over C&D (good) on reappearance, doing well to finish so close to that prominently ridden pair having been held up in rear in a steadily run race; further improvement seems likely for top yard after only four starts; leading claims.

Listed winner at York (1m2f, good) last July and runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good to yielding) in August; down the field on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on both starts since, most recently her reappearance but that may not be her track; could bounce back with a bold show in first-time cheekpieces; unraced on ground slower than good to soft.
