Form & Verdict
Five-time winner and in the form of her life this season, winning a Limerick handicap and producing a career best to land the Colm Quinn Mile at Galway; comes here instead of the more obvious target of the Irish Cambridgeshire; up against it on ratings but well worth a try at getting some black type.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket but has come back well from that, culminating in a fine second to previous Group 3 winner Boundless Ocean in the Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown; steps up 1f in trip and should take some beating if she proves as effective over 1m1f.
