Unbeaten in four races as 2yo, by an aggregate of almost 17l and culminating in Group 1 Fillies' Mile (good to soft; unraced on softer); evens when she reappeared for the 1,000 Guineas back at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and she made all, strongly challenged but pulling 1l clear; shapes as if sure to stay beyond 1m, even though she's by the miler Night Of Thunder and her smart dam looked best up to 1m1f; the proven class act in this field but with stamina for 1m4f the big question.

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; improving filly who remains unbeaten and brings the best form; driven out to beat January in the May Hill at Doncaster (1m) most recently, adding to her stylish 7f wins on the Newmarket July course; highly respected.

Very promising filly who is two from two, both wins over 7f at Newmarket (good/good to firm); comfortably beat Flight on debut, then defied a penalty in impressive fashion (skipped clear with ease); should be suited by 1m; looks a Group performer in the making and commands respect.

Out of a four-time Group 2 winner; sent off 5-2 for her C&D debut three weeks ago and after showing early inexperience she was well on top at the finish with her ears pricked; the two placed horses had shown plenty of promise previously; penalised but looks smart.
