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. |

Relished the return to a longer trip in Listed race at Tipperary (7.5f, good to firm) last month, winning by 4l and taking record to 2-4; placed in Curragh Group 2 the time before, despite finding 6f inadequate; improving and has a useful rating; deserted by Ryan Moore but can't be ruled out.

No match for comfortable winners, including Desert Flower, in her first two races but subsequently recorded a 4l success at Sandown (again over 7f; good) and looks the type to improve further, especially now upped in distance; young trainer's biggest wins have been with fillies; in the mix.

Has shown progressive form over 7f while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; took her record to 2-3 with success in soft-ground Prestige Stakes at Goodwood most recently and that Group 3 event supplied the May Hill winner last year; debut win came on good to firm; possibilities.

Now looks a bargain at 5,000gns (bought in May), as after a successful debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; narrowly) she defied odds of 66-1 and a bad draw to finish second behind a stylish winner in a Listed race at Sandown (good); the third has since performed quite well in a Group 3; needs respecting. |
