Star juvenile, 5-5 including Group/Grade 1 races at three different trips, namely the 7f Moyglare at this venue (good), the 6f Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (soft) and 1m Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (firm); ran as if she needed it when sixth in the 1,000 Guineas; preparation was not ideal; likely to be much closer to peak form now.

Good second in the Albany on this card last year, then landed two Group prizes; creditable third, one place behind stablemate Flight, in the 1,000 Guineas but was soundly beaten in the Irish version; chance partly depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear.

Solid juvenile campaign featured Group wins over 6f/7f in Britain/France and a good second to Lake Victoria over 7f at this track in the Moyglare; fourth in the Prix Marcel Boussac; doubts raised by a tame run in the Fred Darling on reappearance; left that form behind when third in the 1,000 Guineas, one length behind stablemate Flight.

Good filly; Leopardstown maiden winner and her narrow defeat by Bedtime Story here last month would suggest she is still improving; the least likely winner although a big run would not surprise.

Some good runs in defeat in Group races this season, the best of them when close second to Fallen Angel in the Matron at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) in September; very soft ground may not have suited at Longchamp a fortnight ago but others have a lot more substance to their claims.

Fourth in Group 1 Moyglare Stakes; came good after being beaten by the smart Barnavara at Navan last June; handled soft when landing 1m Listed race at Killarney; left an impression she would stay further with 1m1f course win last August; turned the tables on Barnavara then, but that rival prevailed again here in September; should be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Unbeaten in four starts; brilliant winner of the Chesham Stakes in June; not as visually impressive twice since in two victories over Exactly, her victory in the Debutante last month being quite laboured; sets the standard but her latest win did display vulnerabilities and would make a defeat here less surprising.

4-12 overall and best form when placed in Group 1s at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) this June and Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in September; well beaten trying to come from the back over 1m6f at Longchamp two weeks ago, when more testing ground may also have been a negative; that's best forgiven and she has an each-way chance if bouncing back.

Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 wins (including on fast ground) during last season's 2yo campaign and she tapped back into that promise, and more, with a close second in the Group 1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.5f, good to soft) last month; further improvement is needed today and Ryan Moore rides stablemate Whirl, but she can give another good account and is not ruled out.
