Well beaten in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot 2023 on her first attempt at 1m4f and returned to the trip only on latest outing, when comfortably moving 4l clear in the closing stages at Saint-Cloud (very soft); that was a career best, in only a Listed race compared to today's Group 1 but she may now have more to offer at this sort of trip and is in each-way contention.

Decent filly goes best on testing ground, winning a Navan Listed and Saint-Cloud Group 3 last season in such conditions over this trip; is 3lb better off for a 3/4l beating by White Birch in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes on return, so there should be little between them today.

Some okay runs in 1m turf maidens at two and placed over that trip on seasonal/AW debut last month; too keen and faded over 1m2f on handicap bow at Leopardstown but plenty of stamina on dam-side and may well get this trip if settling better; tongue-tie goes on.
