Form & Verdict
Now looks a bargain at 5,000gns (bought in May), as after a successful debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; narrowly) she defied odds of 66-1 and a bad draw to finish second behind a stylish winner in a Listed race at Sandown (good); the third has since performed quite well in a Group 3; needs respecting.

Well beaten in German Group 2 (1m, soft) last month on sole outing this year but shaped as though she may have needed the run; won the Group 3 Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood (7f, soft) last August and it will be no surprise if she bounces back with a big performance.

Impressive in the Group 3 Fred Darling over C&D (good) in April on reappearance; she's not seen her race out since in the 1,000 Guineas, Irish Guineas or Coronation Stakes, all admittedly top races over 1m but she tailed off in first-time cheekpieces in the last named, which prompts concern today even though she's back at 7f.

Impressive in the Fred Darling but her subsequent efforts, upped to 1m, in the 1,000 Guineas (comfortably held) and Irish equivalent (finished fourth) suggest she ideally needs a return to 7f; now goes in cheekpieces; not certain to get home.

Winner and Group-placed at two; belied her 33-1 odds with a clear-cut success in the 7f Fred Darling at Newbury on seasonal debut; fading when stumbling over a furlong down in the 1,000 Guineas; still has to prove she stays this far.

Has a bit to find on Topspeed/RPRs but this Naas 5f maiden winner found everything happening too quickly in a 5f Listed race there (yielding) last time but kept digging in to finish a 2l fourth; it's easy to envisage a career best now sent up to 7f (pedigree casts no doubts).

Newmarket novice winner (7f, good) who wasn't far behind Royalty Bay in a French Group 3 (7f, good to soft) a month ago despite that race not going entirely to plan (found some trouble in running); has each-way claims on form but the draw hasn't been kind.

Form & Verdict
While best form has been with give underfoot, she ran respectably at Royal Ascot in the Albany (good to firm); improved for going the extra furlong when narrowly denied (finished strongly) by an unbeaten filly in a 7f Group 3 at Deauville; she's in the mix.

One of her two novice wins last season came here; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners) but then only fourth of six at Newmarket, failing to convince stamina-wise over 1m.

Pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; did a professional job in narrowly winning a 6f novice at Thirsk (good to soft) but the runner-up is now 0-5 and Definitive on her debut made easier work of beating that same horse; needs to step up.
