Dam was third in the Irish Oaks and is from a famous family; won a maiden at Cork (1m, soft to heavy) in September and found further serious improvement, again getting on top late on, when reappearing in Group 3 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) five weeks ago; looks sure to stay 1m4f and can probably improve for it; no surprise if she is a serious player.

Ran green and not everything went right, but still managed to win on debut in a 7f soft-ground Galway maiden August; impressed in accounting for Aidan O'Brien-trained Portland at Naas last month; runner-up is a 108-rated Group 1-placed colt, so considerable merit in the form.

Smart filly last year; was just beaten by the Oaks winner Ezeliya in a Navan Group 3 before running creditably in the Irish 1000 Guineas and Oaks; a close third in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes on final start; well below that level at Roscommon on return but is the best horse in this race if returning to form; visor added.

Fair sixth on debut at the Curragh; made significant progress to win his next two starts, a 5l defeat of a Ballydoyle-trained colt at Leopardstown, and 7f Group 3 Weld Park Stakes on soft ground at the Curragh; well supported for the Fillies' Mile but dropped away tamely into sixth behind Ylang Ylang; 3lb penalty here.

Top rated 3yo is well treated by the conditions of this race; cracking run when fifth in the Irish Oaks in July; filled the same position in the Epsom Oaks; not beaten far in a pair of Group 3s and a Group 2 on her last three starts over 9.5f-10f; goes back up in distance now and is dropped in class; leading claims if seeing out this trip.

One of two runners for yard; consistent form in Listed company at 10.5f to 13f this season before being outclassed in a Group 2 at the Curragh on latest start; she should be a lot more comfortable in this company and she looks capable of picking up more black type if taking to the surface on her AW bow.

Steadily progressive this term upped in trip, notably second to subsequent Queens Vase third Birdman in 1m5f Navan Listed (4-runners) and when back to 1m2f in Naas Oaks Trial last month, outpaced late after briefly hitting the front late on; trip/ground to suit, seems sure to go well.

Won on heavy on debut; dam Hydrangea won this race in 2017 on soft; that was her first attempt at about 1m4f and that's eyecatchingly also the case now with her daughter, who's been running on well over 1m1f-1m2f; went close from the front in a Curragh Group 2 last time, which leaves her with a fair bit to find on form but she could be a marked improver trying this trip.
