Raced at 1m6f on last four outings, winning two; latest two weeks ago was the eyeopener when she met plenty of trouble in running but travelled strongly and emerged with a powerful late run under Christophe Soumillon to win Group 1 Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (soft); others have better form but she clicked in a major way that day and is not comfortably dismissed.

Won a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh in June and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse in July, both on good ground; hung right in Group 2 at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) on latest outing but made some progress from off the pace to finish just under 3l behind Night Sparkle; that shows that improvement is needed.

Has had just four races, all on good; won a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh in June and, having been put in her place in a 10.5f Listed race, she stepped up to 1m6f successfully in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse in July; Dancing Tango was the half-length second last time and while overall it did not look a strong race for the grade, this 3yo should have scope for improvement.

Form & Verdict
Showed considerable improvement last year, winning a Listed race at Naas over 1m4f on testing ground in October; well below that level at Gowran on return, finishing 5l behind runner-up Countess Of Tyrone; more like it when going close against a 109-rated gelding in a Listed event over an extended 1m4f at Limerick.

Not the easiest to place, hence a modest strike-rate for one of her ability; excellent seconds in Listed/Group 3 races and she's faced tougher tasks the last twice, not running at all badly last time at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2); can be involved.

Her only runs on good to firm were in 2022; close second this season in Ireland on good ground in 1m4f Listed race and to Grateful in 1m6f Group 3; ran respectably in Group 2 latest; usually runs with credit but several others in this seem established at a higher level.

Grade 3-winning hurdler turned into a useful Flat performer in 2024; finished third in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 over 1m6f before winning the Ebor over the same trip; however, hasn't been seen since and difficult to get behind her after a long absence; the market might reveal her readiness.

Useful hurdler, placed at the last two Cheltenham Festivals; similar standard straightaway switched to racing under Flat rules on last three outings, 1-4 for her easy 1m5f maiden win before she ran on nicely to be a close third in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer); this mark demands more but she did shape last time as if capable of better.

Held by Dancing Tango on their recent clash in a 1m6f Group 3 but that was a big step up for this filly on the back of a maiden win at Down Royal (1m5f); might be vulnerable to something with a greater finishing kick but it's still early days.
