Seems to handle most ground (won C&D Listed race on soft last year) and turned in best effort when easily beating Bright Thunder to win a Group 3 at Epsom on Derby Day; nothing wrong with that form (Bright Thunder and the fourth won at Listed level next time) and she's a lot better than she showed in a Deauville Group 1 last time; respected despite her 3lb penalty.
