Form & Verdict
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.

No match for the first two when favourite for a 1m maiden at Leopardstown in July; beaten only a head by the favourite Smexy over 7f at the same venue last month; a bit below that at Cork last time when hanging left under pressure (7f, soft); consistent type and should go close.
