Won three 1m Group 1s against her own sex last year, namely the Prix Rothschild, Matron and Sun Chariot (all good/good to yielding); tackles 1m2f for just the second time on her seasonal return (wasn't strong at the finish when fourth in the 2024 Prix de l'Opera on previous attempt but it was only just short of her best RPR at the time); has to carry a 3lb penalty and wasn't at her best on her reappearance in 2024 or 2025; top mare but there are reasons to oppose her this time.

Has won Group 1s against her own sex in her last three starts (1m, good/good to yielding), namely the Prix Rothschild, the Matron and the Sun Chariot; this is tougher and the last time she took on males she was sixth of eight in the Lockinge in May, but that was her reappearance and the fast ground may not have suited; this front-runner can make a bold bid.
