Penalised for her ready maiden win at Newmarket but she looks highly promising

Promising third in November; brings potential into her second season; hood added

No match for So Regal at Newmarket but a 6lb pull with the winner may make it interesting

Debut winner over 6f; they went very steady when a beaten favourite over 7f

Bred to have a future but she'd need to be decidedly useful to take this on debut

Sufficient promise last season to believe she'll be winning soon; this looks tough, though

Struck into at Newbury latest but this looks no straightforward opportunity
