Bolted up in a Cork maiden last May; thrown straight into Group 1 company in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and coped admirably, beaten 4 1/2l in fifth behind Lake Victoria, despite racing keenly; won over 7f at Gowran last month after a lengthy absence; backed that up with an emphatic Group 3 win at Leopardstown; can continue on the upgrade.

One of two for yard; two 6f wins last year, making all to score in a Curragh maiden (good) and a conditions race here (gd-yld); disappointed upped to 7f when last seen at York and loads to find on the figures on her first try at 5f, but interesting that Billy Lee seemingly prefers her to King Cuan.
