Enjoyed a purple patch in 2023, winning five times on the Flat (and once over hurdles) for Mick Mulvany; fine effort when second in a handicap hurdle at Galway on her second run for this stable; heavily supported for a Flat handicap three days later; that run may have come too soon.

Enjoyed a purple patch in 2023, winning five times on the Flat (and once over hurdles) for Mick Mulvany; solid run over hurdles here on Wednesday; won over 8.5f at this meeting in 2023, this trip is within her range and she's 4lb below her last success; player.

Had flashes of good form under both codes for previous yard, whom she left after finishing tailed off in this 12 months ago (went off too fast); lurks on a reasonable mark on just her second run for Joseph O'Brien; finished last in the first (1m maiden) but that was after a long break so could strip fitter now.

Form & Verdict
AW winner over 7f when trained in Britain; very good third on seasonal debut in premier handicap at the Curragh on Guineas weekend and equally good fourth (again hooded) in 1m Royal Ascot fillies' handicap behind fellow Irish raider Villanova Queen; maybe 7f was a bit sharp last time and she's had a break since; handicapped to win with young rider's allowance another positive.

Dual winner on the AW, including a Listed contest over 1m at Kempton in April; yet to score on turf but took her mark to a career-high when fourth in Killarney fillies Listed last month; has 1.5l to find with Sakti on that run and not certain to relish this return to longer trip.
