Form & Verdict
Impressive debut winner of Goffs Million last year; winning return at Cork was a formality at odds of 1-20; very disappointing on next two starts, including the Galway event in which Princess Child was second; much more like it when second in a 9.5f Listed race at Gowran last week, held up to get the trip and met some trouble before running on late; drop in trip not a big concern.

C&D Group 3 winner last year, but seems most effective at 1m2f, judged on her placed efforts in the Blandford Stakes and the Prix de l'Opéra; stablemate of City Of Memphis who has the advantage of race fitness.

Won two Group 3s (1m and 1m2f) this term and went close with first-time cheekpieces in Group 1 at Longchamp (1m2f) 13 days ago; strong finish in the latter gives hope for this new trip, even if pedigree is less encouraging.

Listed winner last season; added the Group 3 Park Express here (1m, good) on return; followed that with a fine second behind Porta Fortuna in the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes, also here (1m, good); came up short at Royal Ascot; established her stamina with C&D Group 3 win in July and has since been acquired by Wathnan Racing; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
A smart juvenile in Spain last year, winning three times before second in 7f Saint-Cloud Listed event late in the season; no luck in running on yard debut in Curragh handicap in late June; comes into the reckoning based on excellent Galway second with five of these rivals behind.

Talented filly but seems to need plenty of juice underfoot to show her best form and yet was still behind two of today's rivals under suitable conditions at Killarney a month ago; on good ground she's worth taking on; the cheekpieces are new.
