9st 2lb

J: Wayne Lordan

T: A P O’Brien

Typically well-bred Ballydoyle filly; justified odds-on favouritism at Ascot (1m, soft) most recently, taking her form figures to 321; needs improvement to follow up but that's not out of the question, for all that Ryan Moore switches to stablemate January.

Promising third at Ascot (1m, soft) last September; Music Piece finished about 2l ahead that day and Winter's Song did the same at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) three weeks ago, when this one was hemmed in before making some late gains; has a 6lb pull with both, so in the mix, but not as striking as some.

Form & Verdict
150-1 in the Albany at Royal Ascot; more competitive in her two starts either side and improved markedly to win eight-runner maiden at Leicester (6f, good to firm; made most, by a head) on latest; it may prove hard to concede the 6lb all round in this race, however.

Beaten over 7l into fourth at Ascot on her debut (5f, good) but that wasn't a bad run (form franked) and her subsequent Albany Stakes defeat shouldn't be held against her; her experience will be an asset this time and she should be capable of a bigger effort.
