Last year's top-rated filly worldwide; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks; at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; perhaps one race too many when underwhelming at the Breeders' Cup; picked up smoothly to win a Group 2 by 1.75l here on seasonal return (1m2f, good); this is a bigger task, and it's not unfair to say her ideal trip is further than this, but she's the most likely winner.

Last year's leading middle-distance 3yo filly; won the Cheshire Oaks, the Classics at Epsom and the Curragh and the Yorkshire Oaks, and at least matched her best effort when touched off by Daryz on soft in the Arc, well clear of the remainder; form significantly boosted before season's end; possibly one race too many when sixth in the Breeders' Cup Turf; 1m2f trip is a mild concern; won over 1m at two.

Showed improved effort here last time when beaten 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk (1m2f, good); that was a step in the right direction but it's still hard to see him playing any major role.
