Up and down this term but second in the Oaks gives her a fine chance
6 (15)	Lady Boba Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	131	—	1-2395	103	118	105	23d	—	—	+11	23.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Major player on best 2024 form but that was over 1m4f; co-fifth to Sound Angela on latest
7 (5)	Novus Bay J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	J:Tom Queally T:Gary & Josh Moore	131	tp	720541	107	122	96	16d	—	—	+17	28.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Clearly her top three ratings came on soft/heavy ground, including winning this race 2023
15 (7)	Regal Jubilee Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	127	—	-20245	101	113	80	23d	—	—	+9	19.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%

8 (11)	Sound Angela Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Roger Varian	J:Richard Kingscote T:Roger Varian	131	h	322-51	104	117	98	23d	—	—	+6	16.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Had wind surgery before return and she's never been better after 1m2f Yarmouth Listed win
9 (8)	Verbier Bay J:Ryan Moore T:Ralph Beckett	J:Ryan Moore T:Ralph Beckett	131	—	4-4415	101	114	108	41d	—	—	+8	14.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
York Listed win (1m2f, good to firm) in July; slowly away and never figured in US Grade 2

Fourth to High Spirited at Salisbury was respectable but overall improvement is needed
3 (6)	Fakhama Grey J:Jim Crowley T:William Haggas	J:Jim Crowley T:William Haggas	131	—	42-038	91	106	103	58d	—	—	+9	10.7	12.50/1	50/1 2%
