Easy to make a case on plenty of her handicap runs, including when second to a smart British raider at the Curragh in May (1m, good); tried cheekpieces last week at Leopardstown but unseated her rider soon after exiting the stalls.

Fifth foal; half-sister by Siyouni to four winners, including Listed scorers Buckaroo (Group 1-placed in Australia) and Middle Earth; dam a Galileo-sired 1m4f Listed winner for Ger Lyons; stoutly bred so future probably lies over longer distances, but chance has to be taken seriously.

Sole win (11 races) was a maiden last June; career-best form on last two outings, though, with tongue-tie joining the other headgear for her fourth of 18 to Ethical Diamond at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and close third of six in a Group 3 at Leopardstown; 7lb claimer is recruited and those last two 1m4f races gave plenty of encouragement for today's first crack at 1m6f, as does being a half-sister to today's rival and last year's Ebor second Kihavah.

Well-bred filly whose career shot forwards with two Irish 1m wins last autumn, looking capable of better; subsequently left Michael O'Callaghan (same owners); shaped as if all that ability remains in 1m handicap at Sandown four weeks ago, with no room through most of the closing stages; has a mixed pedigree for stamina (dam won 1m, 1m1f and 10.5f Group 1s) and it's her AW debut, but chief concern at this level is the need for so much improvement.
