Highly progressive 2yo last season, which concluded with two Group 1 wins (7f/1m, yielding/good), and she bounced back from an underwhelming reappearance in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) to win the Irish version at the Curragh (1m, good) by just over 2l from stablemate and 1,000 Guineas winner True Love; won a Group 3 on fast ground; she's the one to beat.

Top-class 2yo, winning the Moyglare Stud Stakes and Fillies' Mile; wasn't fully ready when beaten by True Love in the 1,000 Guineas but rebounded to win the Irish version and Coronation Stakes after; beaten by Blue Bolt twice since, though only narrowly at Deauville; was since a close third behind colts in the Prix Jacques Le Marois; looks sure to go close, though she might need a bit of luck in running from stall 1.

Underwhelming favourite in the 1,000 Guineas on reappearance but has left that behind with subsequent wins in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); after a slow start last time she was trapped three wide but still won in convincing fashion, and she's a leading contender in her bid for a fifth Group 1 win.
