Put up respectable efforts in two maiden hurdles; better form on bumper debut when didn't get a clear run under an inexperienced rider; that winner has scored again since; top amateur aboard today and looks a leading player.

The form of her bumper run was franked; top amateur takes over and looks a leading player

Twelfth foal; half-sister to winners incl' Stellar Notion (useful bumper and 2m-2m7f hurdle/chase) and Rhaegar (bumper and 3m hurdle/chase); related to some decent sorts but was a vendor buyback for only Eur4,000 as a 3yo; represents top connections and commands respect on debut.
