Form & Verdict

Won Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes here last summer; held her own in a couple of Group 1 attempts; did not get the best of runs when fourth behind the impressive Tahiyra in the Moyglare; only just edged out of second in the Prix Marcel Boussac by outsider Gan Teorainn; handles soft ground; strong chance.

Form & Verdict

Won first juvenile race of last season; not seen again until 20-1 shot in Ballyhane Stakes at Naas in August, and emerged with credit in taking third place, splitting the subsequent Lowther third Matilda Picotte and Breeders' Cup winner Victoria Road; should stay 7f on 6f Group 3 second at the Curragh on final start.
