Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten fourth last month on first two starts (6f/7f, good) before winning a maiden at Naas (6f, good to yielding) last Thursday; open to further improvement and worth a second look having travelled from Ireland, but a sizeable step forward is needed if she's to threaten.

Juvenile season ended with a Group 3 win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on final start for Johnny Murtagh; seen only once as a 3yo but she was better than ever when pressing Frost At Dawn in Listed race at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in May; goes into the unknown on first 5f run; has been supplemented.

Beaten in major races won by Porta Fortuna, Sacred Angel and Darnation last summer but looked an improved filly in the Nell Gwyn here (7f, good) on reappearance, gamely beating Dance Sequence by a neck; supplemented for this contest at a cost of £30,000; may well build on her trial win provided she stays the new trip (mixed messages in pedigree on that score).
