Off the mark at the third attempt when readily making all in a maiden at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) last month; others have achieved considerably more but she's on the up and her trainer is also responsible for impressive Oaks winner Thundering On; there can be optimism that this Sea The Stars filly will be suited by the step up in trip and she's well worth a second look.

Campaigned only over 7f/1m but she's bred to be suited by this new trip; solid form as a 2yo then ran well in the Nell Gwyn on reappearance; came up short in the 1,000 Guineas since but brings a respectable rating to this drop back in class and there's still a chance she can do better still.
