Enjoyed her finest hour when winning the German 1,000 Guineas (1m, soft) in May; only fifth of 15 in the German Oaks (1m3f, good to soft) last time and she faces a higher calibre of rival here; would be a surprise winner.

Won twice at Group level last year, including the May Hill at Doncaster (1m, soft) in September; found Group 1 company too much the next twice (including in the 1000 Guineas on her return), but landed the German version at Dusseldorf (1m, soft) last month; bred to stay this far and the only question is how she will cope with the different surface; entered in the Irish and Yorshire Oaks and Nassau Stakes.

Stablemate of Fallen Angel; out of a half-sister to Blue Bunting, who won this race in 2011; readily beat See The Fire in the May Hill (Group 2) at Doncaster, completing a soft-ground hat-trick; form dipped in the Boussac on the return to faster conditions; chance of resuming her improvement may depend on how the surface is riding; interesting if it turns soft.
