By Galileo out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel; shaped encouragingly on debut when a close third over C&D before racing too freely and finishing down the field when sent off only 5-1 in the Chesham at Royal Ascot 16 days later; has been given time to mature and has to be seriously considered back against her own sex.

Settling her has seemingly become a near-impossible task, but she nevertheless saw out 1m4f very well when second in the Irish Oaks and winning the Yorkshire Oaks; that Group 1 form gives her a big chance and she won on soft ground last term, but a very shortlived effort from the back in 1m2f Group 1 at Longchamp (hooded) 13 days ago was disconcerting.

Dam was third in the Irish Oaks and is from a famous family; won a maiden at Cork (1m, soft to heavy) in September and found further serious improvement, again getting on top late on, when reappearing in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) five weeks ago; looks sure to stay 1m4f and can probably improve for it; no surprise if she is a serious player.
