J: Colin Keane

T: Andrew Balding

Had excellent campaigns in 2024 and 2025, both of which ended with Group 1 success in good style against her own sex on Champions Day at Ascot; she also started last season with a big run in an Irish Group 1 and was an excellent second in the King George at Ascot in July; wore cheekpieces last two starts; concedes 4lb to male rivals today but probably still the one to beat.

Rounded off her excellent 2024 campaign with a stylish victory in this race (soft); no win this term but that includes an excellent second in the King George over C&D (good) in July and she was not discredited when seventh in the Arc at Longchamp in first-time headgear 13 days ago; the one to beat if returning to her King George best.

Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft).

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer.
