Ballydoyle filly who was impressive in the Prix Marcel Boussac on final 2yo start; solid second in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) six weeks ago with reappearance under her belt; big player provided she stays this new trip (mixed messages on breeding).

Justify filly whose progressive 2yo campaign culminated in an impressive performance in the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (1m) where she drew clear for a 5l success on ground that was faster than the official good to soft; likely to be at concert pitch with reappearance (below-par third in Irish 1,000 Guineas) under her belt; remains of strong interest.
