Ran well when upped to 1m in similar event at York (good) seven weeks ago but just held on for second and gave the impression she may ideally require a return to 7f; Kieran Shoemark prefers stablemate Regal Jubilee.

Ran perfectly well under a penalty when third in the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft) but that's her level; comfortably held by some of today's principals on her previous two runs.

Seems to handle most ground (won C&D Listed race on soft last year) and turned in best effort when easily beating Bright Thunder to win a Group 3 at Epsom on Derby Day; nothing wrong with that form (Bright Thunder and the fourth won at Listed level next time) and she's a lot better than she showed in a Deauville Group 1 last time; respected despite her 3lb penalty.

Her debut conqueror was close up in this year's German 2,000 Guineas; hasn't won her two races by far but market weakness suggested her comeback run may have been needed and yet she cosily conceded a penalty to some promising types at Doncaster (1m, good to soft); fast ground is a first for her but pedigree and progress suggest she could be tackling Group races sooner rather than later.
