Form & Verdict
Finished third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winners Gstaad and True Love over 6f at Navan on debut; ran green then and still looked a bit raw when losing out by a neck to a Ger Lyons-trained newcomer over the same trip at Cork; well clear of Euro 1m yearling purchase Skychase then; by a Group 1-winning sprinter; has shown plenty of speed, hard to oppose.

Maiden and Listed winner over 5f; beaten only a nose in a Group 3 over the minimum trip at Longchamp, though produced her best effort when chasing home True Love in the 6f Group 1 Cheveley Park; failed to cope with the challenge of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; appealing given her top-rating and she's unpenalised but lacks a run.

Hard to knock after a win in a Listed race at Naas and a close second in a Group 3 at Longchamp (both 5f on ground softer than good), but her form might have plateaued and she'll need some improvement to come out on top in her first Group 1.

Outran 80-1 odds on debut over 5f at Naas, though beaten 12 1/2l in third behind subsequent Listed winner Havana Anna; not a bad run in mid-field at the same venue on second start; more likely a nursery prospect after this.

All starts over this trip; fair maiden runs have been followed by two runner-up finishes in handicaps, on latest behind Love Bomb; perhaps this stiffer track could play to her strengths and she has an 11lb swing in the weights with that rival.
