Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers.
