Yet to finish out of the first two in her 8-race career, signing off last season with a good second to a progressive Godolphin filly at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in September. Reunited with William Buick, who partnered her to success on the other course here last summer, and she's a big player.
|
Largely campaigned over 7f/1m but she looked equally comfortable over this trip when a clear second in a Kempton handicap on final run of 2024. Creditable efforts both starts over 7f since returning to action at the end of March and she's of strong interest back at this trip with Ryan Moore booked.
|
Boasts a good strike rate on the AW having won 5 of her 23 starts on synthetics. Successful on turf, too, but that was back in 2023 and she came up short off lower marks than this on each of her 4 runs on grass last year.
|
Proved that her surprise 7f debut success (sent off at 50/1) last July was no fluke when following up in emphatic fashion at Wolverhampton (also 7f) later that month. However, she struggled at Newcastle when last in November and is opposable dropped to 6f for this handicap/turf bow.
|
Fairly useful dual winner as a juvenile before finding listed company too hot on final 3 starts of that campaign. Again found that grade beyond her on recent reappearance at Bath (5f, firm) and while this handicap debut makes for a more realistic assignment, she looks vulnerable all the same.
|
Hooded for majority of her half-a-dozen appearances at 2 yrs, successful on debut in a 6f Leicester maiden and her nursery debut fourth here over 7f in September was a creditable effort. However, her reappearance display (without headgear) at Kempton was inauspicious and the hood is again omitted.
|
Won 3 on the bounce in first half of last term and while her 4 starts following a mini mid-season break were pretty nondescript, she has returned this year with a series of good efforts. This is a higher-grade handicap than what she is accustomed to, though, and she's 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
|
Didn't do much wrong at 2 yrs, performing with credit all 5 starts for Charlie Fellowes before making the frame in 2 runs on the AW for new yard. Deservedly hit the target in a 3-runner Chelmsford novice (5f) in January but out of her depth in a Lingfield handicap since and others look stronger.

Forecasts
Rosy Affair (15/8), Circe (11/4), Rhythmic Acclaim (6/1), Santa Savana (13/2), Ormolulu (8/1), Pearl Of Windsor (17/2), Cressida Wildes (40/1), Searchingtheblues (40/1)
The vote goes to the rock-solid ROSY AFFAIR, who has barely put a foot wrong to date and a 1 lb rise for chasing home an upwardly mobile Godolphin filly on her final start of last season doesn't look at all harsh. Circe is the clear main danger and, with recent race-fitness on her side, she won't go down without a fight. Ormolulu appears to be more of a force on the all-weather and is third choice here more by process of elimination rather than a vote of confidence.
- Rosy Affair15/8
- Circe11/4
