Made an indelible impression when taking Royal Ascot by storm in the King Charles III two years ago and adding two more Group 1s in 2025 with this race (good to firm) and the Abbaye (very soft); has held on to much of her ability in 2026, not far away back at Royal Ascot and going down narrowly to American Affair in a Group 2 at Goodwood recently, but it's not certain that she still has what it takes to add to last year's win.

Three Group 1 wins, the latest last October, and second in this race in 2024 (seventh last year); step back in right direction when close seventh at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) but finished last at Sandown subsequently (slowly away) and it's been an underwhelming campaign; has to raise her game.

Australian mare who has become less consistent with age but is very smart on her day, as three Group 1 wins on British/French soil attest; showed clear signs of a return to form last time when bidding to regain her King Charles III Stakes crown; top rated, back down in grade.

Superb Australian mare who was produced to perfection to win this in 2024 (good to firm); her preparation didn't go well last year when only fifth but she later added two more Group 1 wins in the Nunthorpe at York and the Abbaye at Longchamp; well below best in two runs this year (without regular blinkers which now return with tongue-tie added) but the wet winter in Britain would have been a shock to her system and she's not at all ruled out.

Carries a 5lb penalty today and she was down the field on her comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago; however, she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect having won two 5f Group 1s last season, namely the Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) and the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp (very soft).
