All runs at 6f; big penultimate effort and raced too freely close to the pace next time

Dubawi filly who didn't need too much encouragement to make a winning debut at Newmarket

The standard-setter on form and this is her first assignment consigned to fillies

Still looked green when an emphatic winner over Ascot's 6f; bred for 7f+

Questionable what she achieved at Newbury but stepping up to 7f looks sure to suit
