Lengthy absences are a feature in this lightly raced filly's profile but she's 5-5 and did well to overcome a break of 255 days to beat Blue Bolt in Sandown's Group 3 Atalanta Stakes, especially as she was conceding 6lb to the runner-up and dropped in from the widest stall; fully entitled to raise her game again on this first crack at a Group 1 and hard to know how good she might be.
