Ballydoyle filly who ties in with Caught U Looking on penultimate effort but looks rather exposed now and record stands at 1-8; stable has a much stronger chance with Ylang Ylang.

Taking her racing well and posted a career-best here a fortnight ago when front-running third in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes over 7f; not sure that warrants her current mark of 105 and possibly vulnerable but should again be thereabouts.

Gowran maiden winner; reappeared much improved in first-time hood to finish second in C&D Group 3 in March on heavy; drop to 7f probably unsuitable when only fifth behind A Lilac Rolla at Leopardstown on similar ground; drop in class and return to 1m did the trick in 1m Killarney event; will stay further than this on that evidence.

Group 3/Listed winner with best form on heavy ground; needs to bounce back from indifferent Gowran run, when Improvista and Azada finished in front of her; may have needed that on first run since Group 2 second at the Curragh in May; first-time cheekpieces; any further easing would help.
