Form & Verdict
Emphatic winner of a 7f soft-ground maiden at Newbury and coped well with the sudden rise in grade when close up behind rivals with Group-race form in a 1m Listed event here (heavy), despite racing freely off a steady early pace; doesn't have the stoutest of pedigrees in relation to some of today's rivals but her form is up there.

A willing winner over 7f at Salisbury (good to soft) before holding her own in a heavy-ground Listed race at Newbury (7f); plenty of stamina in the pedigree and entered in the Ribblesdale; not ruled out, for all that she's down the pecking order on official ratings.

Very lightly raced 4yo; ran well when fourth in Listed race at Newbury (7f, heavy) on final 2yo start and again when third in similar event here (1m2f, good to firm) on only outing last season; more required here after 11 months off but she's unexposed and impossible to discount.

Form & Verdict
Finished within 2l of the French 1,000 Guineas winner Blue Rose Cen in a Longchamp Group 3 (1m, soft) last September and was again bang there at Saint-Cloud (1m Listed, very soft) this March; not sure what happened in Germany last time (Group 3, good to soft; in first-time cheekpieces that are retained) and has to prove her effectiveness on this drier surface; stamina shouldn't be an issue.
