By Prince Gibraltar from Belle Anglaise who has produced a winner at stakes level. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Promising type who is ready to run boldly. ME VOILA LA MOME (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 2600m at Morlaix after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance.
