Odds-on when making a sparkling debut in a 6f Cork maiden last month that has worked out quite well; has all the right entries and looks a potential Group 1 filly; will be hard to beat.

Made it 3-3 in Group 1 Phoenix Stakes here 12 months ago; pulled hard when fourth in soft-ground Cheveley Park; won Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f, good) on second start this season; flopped in the Commonwealth Cup when much too free; could bounce back.

Has improved with racing; performed very well in French Classics the last twice, on latest occasion sneaking up the inside rail to justify favouritism in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (upped to 10.5f; ground faster than the official good to soft); could well have even more to offer at this sort of distance; respected in his bid to become the third horse this decade to complete the French Derby and Eclipse double.
