Form & Verdict
Pleasing third on debut over 6f at this venue; winner Balantina twice placed at Group 3 level since then, including third in the Albany; built on her initial experience when defeating the odds-on Lady Iman and today's rival Skydance in a 6f Group 3 here in July; runner-up franked the form in the Molecomb; should have no trouble with 7f, but Composing appears stronger.

Form dipped in the Cheveley Park Stakes here but she may well rebound and resume the progress shown at the Curragh, where she won a Group 2 and was a close second in 7f Group 1 behind a stablemate who is currently favourite for the 1,000 Guineas; remains of interest.

Rapid progress in three runs; defeated odds-on Lady Iman in 6f Group 2 at the Curragh in June and was seen off only inside the final 1f in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud there (7f, yielding) 13 days ago; may not have reached her ceiling just yet; one of two strong contenders for the Aidan O'Brien yard.

Form & Verdict
Only fifth on debut in race in which longer-priced stablemate Beautify was third; unbeaten in three races since then, a C&D maiden and small-field Group 3 races at Leopardstown (beat Skydance readily) and C&D, taking the measure of the front-running Suzie Songs; may stay more effectively than the unbeaten Venetian Sun; dam handled soft ground well.

The filly she beat on Cork debut now looks smart (Skydance well held in third) and this filly followed up when narrowly flooring the long odds-on colt Flushing Meadows in the Group 3 Anglesey here; already shown smart form and stepping up to 7f can only benefit when the dam won over 1m4f.

Top 6f 2yo, completing a notable hat-trick with wins in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, Group 2 at Newmarket (July) and Group 1 at Deauville (all good/good to firm); seemed fine at 7f (ran on after meeting trouble) when third in the Moyglare at the Curragh (yielding) on her final start but shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m for 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance; remains open to progress back at 6f; leading claims.

Absent since finishing third to Precise in the Moyglare Stud Stakes when upped to 7f at the Curragh, losing her unbeaten record but far from disgraced and sticking on in a manner that suggests she'll stay 1m this year; 4-4 previously and completed a notable 6f hat-trick with wins in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, Group 2 at Newmarket (July) and Group 1 at Deauville; may well rate higher still and add to an already impressive tally; pleased her trainer in a racecourse gallop last month; highly respected.
