Won three times here in 2021 for Jessica Harrington including the Group 2 Boomerang Mile on Irish Champions Weekend; couple of AW wins for this yard since and was second to former stablemate Bold Discovery over a mile here in May; disappointing in Group 3 over 7f here last month; trying this trip for the first time, not nailed on to appreciate it. |

Three wins from five starts at two, including a 7f Group 3 at this venue and Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket; looked in need of further when staying on for a close-up fifth in the 1,000 Guineas on seasonal debut; disappointing favourite for the Oaks, seemingly a combination of failure to handle the track and lack of stamina; back to the drawing-board at 1m now.

Frankel filly who cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; three wins from five starts as a 2yo culminated in Group 1 Fillies' Mile success at Newmarket (soft) where she got up close home after trouble in running; 5-1 for the 1,000 Guineas there (good) on reappearance and made steady inroads from off the pace to go down by a length in fifth; seemed to be crying out for a longer trip in those 1m races and tops this field on those two pieces of form. |

Returned to action when just lasting out in a 1m1f fillies Listed at Gowran last month; behind Self Belief in last year's Meld Stakes but does handle good ground; needs to improve to win this though. |

Debut maiden winner over C&D a year ago beating the very useful Thunder Roll; narrowly denied in a 1m2f Listed race at Naas; again emerged with credit when third (four runners) in the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown; failed to reproduce that form at Naas on final outing. |
5/1 |
