Pick of six career wins her four-runner Group 3 win here (1m1f, good) in 2025; very promising seasonal return when third in Group 3 here in May (7f, good) but unable to back that up at both Ascot and when scoped dirty when last of six when attempting repeat Group win here in July; escapes a penalty here and big chance if returning to her best.

Three starts at Royal Ascot have yielded a win in the 2023 Chesham (7f), an excellent second of 23 in the Kensington Palace (1m) last year, and a creditable fifth in last month's Duke of Cambridge (1m); produced her best display on home soil when beating the odds-on Purview in this race 12 months ago; began this season with a solid third in a 7f Group 3 at this track.

Best form has been at 1m2f but it was a Listed race in which she struggled when trying this far for the first time at Naas 19 days ago; others might be better treated anyway; tongue-tie joins regular cheekpieces.

Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form.
