9st 1lb

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: A P O’Brien

Raced at 1m6f on last four outings, winning two; latest two weeks ago was the eyeopener when she met plenty of trouble in running but travelled strongly and emerged with a powerful late run under Christophe Soumillon to win Group 1 Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (soft); others have better form but she clicked in a major way that day and is not comfortably dismissed.

Won a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh in June and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse in July, both on good ground; hung right in Group 2 at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) on latest outing but made some progress from off the pace to finish just under 3l behind Night Sparkle; that shows that improvement is needed.

Has had just four races, all on good; won a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh in June and, having been put in her place in a 10.5f Listed race, she stepped up to 1m6f successfully in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse in July; Dancing Tango was the half-length second last time and while overall it did not look a strong race for the grade, this 3yo should have scope for improvement.

J: Wayne Lordan

T: A P O’Brien

Low key debut last year but much better when winning on return at the Curragh with stablemate Mother Nature runner-up; that is form that took a knock over the weekend with the third running below par at Down Royal; beautifully bred but not sure to appreciate the drop in trip this time.

8/1
