Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten fourth last month on first two starts (6f/7f, good) before winning a maiden at Naas (6f, good to yielding) last Thursday; open to further improvement and worth a second look having travelled from Ireland, but a sizeable step forward is needed if she's to threaten.

Flopped in French Group 1 latest, which is disconcerting; however, she did very well to win the Group 3 Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, good) in May having had to wait for a run, and when a close fourth in York Group 3 (6f, good to soft) in July she made a big move from the rear to lead inside the final furlong; capable of playing leading role back down in grade.

Form & Verdict
Won on debut at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in June and has contested three Group 3 races since; 3l second in the Princess Margaret at Ascot (6f, good) two starts ago and faded into fourth of six in the Prestige at Goodwood (7f, soft) last time; could benefit from the drop back in trip and she's a possible contender for a trainer who has won two of the last three runnings.

Gamely won the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f, good) in April; best to forgive her 1,000 Guineas defeat but it's harder to excuse her Group 3 effort (6f) last time; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Beaten in major races won by Porta Fortuna, Sacred Angel and Darnation last summer but looked an improved filly in the Nell Gwyn here (7f, good) on reappearance, gamely beating Dance Sequence by a neck; supplemented for this contest at a cost of £30,000; may well build on her trial win provided she stays the new trip (mixed messages in pedigree on that score).
