Looked good when winning on debut at Haydock (6f, good) last September; didn't kick on subsequently and came third of four on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in November last time, but maybe a break will have helped this half-sister to 6f Group 3 winner Light Refrain; yard in fine form.

Ready winner of a 6f fillies' novice at Haydock on her debut in September; no progress in Group 3/Listed events on her next two starts but this should more suitable; still has time to fulfil her debut promise.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Ed Walker

Strong in the market when winning by 2l on debut at Haydock (6f, good) last month; merely seventh of 14 in Group 3 at Ayr (6f soft) since but perhaps the ground wasn't ideal and this well-bred filly retains potential.

Strong in the market when winning by 2l on debut at Haydock (6f, good) a fortnight ago; this half-sister to Group 3 winner Light Refrain (who was effective on testing ground) could have lots more to offer for a trainer also responsible for Lowther winner Royal Fixation; firmly in calculations.

Fifth foal; Night Of Thunder half-sister to winners Light Refrain (6f including 2yo/Group 3) and Distant Light (7f; RPR 84); dam 7f 2yo Listed winner; likely to improve for this debut but no surprise if she goes well.
