Classy winner of Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2023 but her season ended that July; offered hope that she was on the way back when dead-heating for 5f Listed race here in June but following a fair run in a Group 1 she was tailed off back in Listed company this month (said to have been unsuited by losing a shoe early); questions hang but major claims if that can be overlooked.

Looked set to be a major sprinting force when beating a top sprinter in a 6f Group 2 on this track (good) in May 2023 but she's had only a handful of starts since and her dead-heat for first in a 5f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last time wasn't really worthy of the sprinter she promised to become; still time for her to do better but she's up against the specialist 5f sprinters, which gives her more to prove; yard won this in 2015 and 2016.

Smart at 6f, winning twice in Listed company before taking her form to a new level in the 2023 Duke Of York Clipper Stakes (Group 2), getting on top late; below par in the July Cup on her final start last season and she hasn't been at her best in two runs this year; the ground at Haydock was a valid excuse last time and she'll be happier back on today's forecast quicker going; big chance if near her best on this first attempt at 5f.

Last season was cut short in July and she wasn't at her best on last week's reappearance in Group 2 Duke Of York; however, it wasn't a bad run and she won that same race last year (6f, good), form which is head and shoulders above the rest of these; has won on good to soft, unraced on softer.
