Leopardstown (1m, y) maiden winner started off season in promising fashion with impressive Cheshire Oaks (1m3f, good) victory; well beat when sent off favourite for Epsom Oaks and limit has probably been found since with fifth place finishes in Irish Oaks and Lillie Langtry; that form still puts her in with a winning chance down in grade.

Camelot filly ran once at two; decent effort on return, taking third in a 1m2f Leopardstown fillies' maiden after making much of the running; dam is by Pivotal, and a lack of stamina may have been the issue when she faded tamely in a 1m4f maiden at Cork last month.
