Trained by Andrew Balding and owned and bred by Kirsten Rausing, the Oasis Dream filly is related to the stable’s City of York Stakes winner Shine So Bright, who also gathered plenty of Group placings throughout his career.

She made her debut at Newcastle in November, finishing third before lining up a month later at Southwell to win a seven-furlong event in good style with the field well strung out behind her.

She showed signs of greenness and is a substantial type who may take time to reach her peak, but the ability is clearly there and this could be a stepping stone to greater things.
