Lightly raced 5yo who was an easy Group 2 winner on the Rowley Mile in May (1m1f, soft) and followed up in the Group 1 Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago, when hanging right and hampering rivals; there can be optimism she will be fully effective at 1m and she's the one to beat on form; has run just once on fast ground, when showing promise on debut.

Lightly raced; showed improved form in Group 3 races last autumn for new yard, finishing a close second at Newmarket then going one better at Toulouse; improvement strongly sustained with returning victory in 1m1f Group 2 event at Newmarket in early-May; up 8lb to 115 for that, making her the highest-rated runner in the field.

Acts on soft; French Group 1 winner early last season and better form on four occasions since, most notably perhaps when dictating the pace and never seriously threatened in Group 2 at Saint-Cloud in May, when Nashwa failed to fire in fourth; respectable third in Group 1 at the Curragh on latest start; looks set for another prominent finish.
