Form & Verdict
Wins have been gained on good ground and AW but has shown the ability to handle soft ground too; has shown a good standard of form on soft ground in two French raids, second at Clairefontaine in July, fourth at Saint-Cloud last month; Group 3-placed at Cork in between; stays 1m4f well and is probably the pick of her trainer's five runners.

Not the easiest to place, hence a modest strike-rate for one of her ability; excellent seconds in Listed/Group 3 races and she's faced tougher tasks the last twice, not running at all badly last time at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2); can be involved.
