Form & Verdict
Well-related filly; reared at the start and lost ground on debut at Ballinrobe; did well in the circumstances to stay on for third; open to improvement and could be the one to take advantage if Rubies Are Red fails to run up to her high rating.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two maidens (including at this venue on debut) before finishing a close second to Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me in the Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial; out of her depth in Oaks, Ribblesdale and Irish Oaks; undeniably disappointing when blinkered at Bellewstown a fortnight ago; blinkers left off now, probably worth another chance.

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.
