Smart filly last year; was just beaten by the Oaks winner Ezeliya in a Navan Group 3 before running creditably in the Irish 1000 Guineas and Oaks; a close third in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes on final start; well below that level at Roscommon on return but is the best horse in this race if returning to form; visor added.

Well-related filly; worn down late by the favourite Purple Rose on debut over C&D nicely clear of third (subsequently placed in three Group races); no match for 25-1 chance Kitty Rose at Naas 16 days ago, but the winner looked a potential Group 1 filly when winning a Listed race at Leopardstown on Saturday; should score readily at short odds.
