Closely related to 7f 2yo winner Aablan (inc Group 3; RPR 96); easy winner of 7f maiden at Newmarket in July 2024 and similarly impressive over same C&D the following month. Enhanced her reputation still further when winning the Group 2 May Hill Stakes and the Group 1 Fillies' Mile on her next two starts, the latter with consummate ease. Justified favouritism from the front in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on her seasonal return in May 2025 before finishing third when upped to 1m4f for the Oaks.
