Just 1-12 but has faced some stiff tasks in group races; her standout effort was a third in the Irish Oaks; was well below that form in a fillies' Listed race at Naas last time and has to rebound over a new trip.

Standout effort came in the Irish Oaks (third), also ran well when second in Give Thanks Stakes at Cork; didn't appear to stay 1m6f at Longchamp last weekend but best form at this trip makes her a leading player.

Hasn't added to her maiden win but front-running Irish Oaks third marked a big step up in form; not quite at that level in Group 3 at Cork latest but decent front-running second to an improver; mark probably flatters her a bit but major player back in Listed class.

Hasn't added to her maiden win but front-running Irish Oaks third last time marked a big step up in form; possibly flattered by that but nonetheless has to be given major respect.

1m maiden winner at two began the season with a pleasing third behind Wemightakedlongway in a Group 3 event at Navan; third behind stablemate Garden Of Eden at Navan and in rear behind the same filly when the stable's third-choice in the Ribblesdale; appeared not to stay 1m6f at Fairyhouse last time; cheekpieces on now.
