Decent efforts in three maidens from 1m2f-1m4f without showing noticeable improvement; first-time cheekpieces need to eke out a fair bit more.

Won over an extended 1m2f at Naas last August on good ground; not suited by heavy ground on her final two starts; in rear on soft on return; much better when fourth at Leopardstown, 1 3/4l in front of favourite Akecheta.

Was a 5l third on debut over C&D early last month on good ground; the winner ran well in a French Group 3 since, so with improvement likely this filly can be more involved today.

Respectable third on debut over 1m4f at Bellewstown in July; only just denied over the same course and trip in August; disappointing favourite in a 1m6f maiden at Navan last time; has plenty to find with Get on that running, but may do better down in the trip now.

Camelot filly ran a good third at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) on debut and probably would have won in another few strides when just failing to catch Ob La Di over the same C&D last month; she has bundles of stamina and should run a big race.

Beautifully-bred filly was placed in two maidens before finishing a close second to Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me in the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial; below that level in stronger company since; blinkers replace the visor worn last time; should win.

Has kept top company, contesting two 1m4f Classics and the Ribblesdale after finishing second in the Oaks Trial at Lingfield; ran in a Group 3 at Gowran last time having suffered maiden defeats at Bellewstown and Galway (finished behind Radar Ahead); highest-rated filly but still risky.
