Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo, also Listed-placed last season; excellent debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April (1m, soft-to-heavy); backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2; now has to bounce back from a disappointing Leopardstown run; cheekpieces on.

Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo; best run for that stable came at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) when second in Listed; career-best on debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April, worth more than the 0.5l winning margin suggests; backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2 18 days ago; big shout back on favoured ground; down in trip.

Made all on heavy ground in Group 3 event at Gowran last autumn; hasn't reproduced that level of form this term, although solid runs in a pair of Curragh Group 3's and most recently only caught close home after having gone clear in Naas fillies Listed eight days ago on favoured soft ground; likely quicker ground here not in her favour but has her chance at the weights.

Worth a second look given she's the sole Ballydoyle runner and it's possible she'll improve for the step up in trip on her second start of the season; however, she's been beaten in four Listed/Group races since winning a maiden at Leopardstown on her debut last June, and was 2l behind Legacy Link when fifth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October.
