Odds-on when winning six-runner maiden here last summer (talented stablemate was third); not seen for ten months; came home well from off the pace when third in strong Group 3 here in April and looks to be crying out for this trip and probably further; a danger to all with that run under her belt.

Has some good form to her name - hence a mark of 90 - but she was a beaten favourite in two races at Dundalk last backend (7f/1m) and should have run better; they tried blinkers last time and it remains to be seen whether she can tap back into her initial promise.

Settling her has seemingly become a near-impossible task, but she nevertheless saw out 1m4f very well when second in the Irish Oaks and winning the Yorkshire Oaks; that Group 1 form gives her a big chance and she won on soft ground last term, but a very shortlived effort from the back in 1m2f Group 1 at Longchamp (hooded) 13 days ago was disconcerting.
