Won a Cork Listed race (5.5f, good) and Newbury Group 3 (5f, good to soft) in 2025 but hasn't got close to that form in two 5f starts this year, albeit it was a Royal Ascot Group 1 latterly; won over 6f on good to firm at the start of her career.

Useful 5f form as a 3yo, inching forward again when gaining a narrow win over Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts on good) last September; she was entitled to need the run behind Night Raider at Newmarket in April but a big advance on her form is needed.

Down the field from a poor draw in the Group 1 Abbaye at Longchamp in October but had previously confirmed herself an improving 3yo when beating Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts well on good); has hopes of doing better as a 4yo but this is a tough start to the year.
