Form & Verdict
Did well to score so comfortably on debut, beating a Dermot Weld-trained favourite with previous experience in a 7f maiden at Naas; that was only 13 days ago and this represents a quick rise in class, but she could prove equal to the challenge; smart prospect for a small but respected yard.

Won a 7f Listed race on good ground last year and runner-up twice at Group 3 level since, including on 7f Leopardstown reappearance (heavy; final start for Natalia Lupini); good start for her new Australian-based trainers when fifth of 20 under top weight in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; leading form claims.

Smart 2yo, beating the high-class Content (since close up at the Breeders' Cup and French 1,000 Guineas) in a 7.3f Listed race (good) second time out and second to the same filly in a 1m Group 3; another smart performance in a 7f Group 3 on her return when pushing close the Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up; has earned top weight and Oisin Murphy earmarked her as one of his best rides of the week; left Natalia Lupini and now with new Australian-based trainers.

By Galileo out of dual Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel; shaped encouragingly on debut when a close third at this venue; ran too freely and finished down the field when 5-1 chance in the Chesham at Royal Ascot 16 days later; much more professional in a maiden here 16 days ago, dominating all the way and beating Apricot Ice with plenty to spare.

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.

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.

Created a favourable first impression when beating the well-fancied Quickstepping (a stablemate of Kitty Rose) in a maiden over an extended 7f at Tipperary last Sunday; this comes very soon and on better ground, but she deserves respect.
