Won Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, soft) last spring, and ran even better when second in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); wasn't at quite the same level in two subsequent Group 1 runs but she now returns in a lower grade after wind surgery; the one to beat if back to her best.

Made it 2-2 when winning Group 3 at Newbury (7f, soft) on reappearance and bounced back from 1,000 Guineas flop when runner-up in Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm), where she did well to rally after having her momentum checked; this lightly raced 3yo could continue to progress and she's one to be interested in.

Prominent racer who comes firmly into the reckoning on her neck second to Mill Stream in the July Cup; last month's seventh at Haydock is best ignored as she was poorly drawn; versatile ground-wise and she shaped well when fourth to Art Power in this race 12 months ago; impossible to rule out.
