Runnner-up in a AW Listed event at Lingfield (7f) in February, when previously with this yard, but struggled in two starts in the USA (6.5f/1m), and again on her first start since returning to Richard Hughes at York (7f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip with cheekpieces applied.

Acts on soft-good to firm ground; off the mark when winning at Windsor (6f) on second start and ran well when second of eight in a Listed event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February; then left Richard Hughes and has since struggled in two starts in the USA (6.5f/1m); now makes her handicap debut on her first start back for this trainer.

Impressed in a 6f fillies' novice at Windsor last June before acquitting herself with credit in Listed/Group 3 company; ended her 2yo campaign with a second-place finish in a valuable sales race in Germany (7f, soft); could progress further this year; interesting on AW debut.

Best efforts have been on soft/heavy ground, including when going close in a Group 3 at Ayr (6f) last September and winning a Listed contest at Doncaster (6f) when last seen 299 days ago; has since had wind surgery and steps up to 7f for her reappearance; pedigree suggests she'll stay but she may need this return to action.

0-4 as 2yo but improved form since a 207-day break, making all at Lingfield (6f, AW) before following up at Thirsk on her turf debut (6f, good to firm); leaves the impression she has more to offer but now steps back up in trip in a deeper race off this 8lb higher mark (2lb out of the handicap).

Won on her reappearance at Lingfield (6f, AW) in July and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 11 days later; beaten a long way at York (7f, good to soft) last month but she failed to settle and this attractively bred 3yo retains potential for her top stable back at 6f and back on better ground.

Unexposed 3yo who returned after 207 days off with a dominant display in a Lingfield handicap (6f, AW) last Monday; 3lb well in under a penalty for that success and she's open to more progress on this switch to turf; strong contender.

Has had eight races and posted career win number four in Italy's 1,000 Guineas (good; narrowly); back down to earth in a Listed race at Goodwood where perhaps 1m2f proved a stretch; returns to what is probably her best trip but with a fairly exposed profile.

Well held over 1m on turf on her first two outings (good) but she posted an improved effort when winning a Wolverhampton maiden (7f, AW) last month; overcame a wide trip to follow up on her handicap debut over that same C&D 20 days ago, holding off the late challenge of the runner-up, but she does now need to translate that improvement to turf.

Unraced on ground slower than good; off the mark when winning a maiden at Chester (7f, good) on her second start and followed up with a narrow success in a novice at Wetherby (7f, good to firm; second has won since); ran well behind an improving rival on her handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) last month but was below that level at Goodwood (6f, good) three weeks ago; stepping back up in trip should suit.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye on her debut over 7f (good to soft) before making all in a three-runner novice at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) next time, and followed that with a comfortable success in another small field at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month; this is much more competitive but she doesn't lack a turn of foot, which bodes well for this drop back in trip, and this well-related filly is a leading contender on her handicap debut.
