Short-headed in the Group 2 Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good) in May and creditable fourth in the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good) last time; didn't convince with her stamina in the Nell Gwyn in April on her sole crack at 7f but that was her reappearance and the lack of a recent run may have told late on; can be thereabouts if seeing out the trip.

Sole win (from eight starts) came in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good) last July; better than ever when short-headed in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good) last month and has an each-way chance if backing up that performance.

Form & Verdict
Fast-improving and talented filly who beat colts in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm; Group 1) seven weeks ago, taking record to 3-3; her closest pursuer that day was Whistlejacket, who subsequently won the Morny and is a leading player in the Middle Park today; respected.

Won her first three starts, including the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes and the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes, beating Whistlejacket on the latter occasion; winning run came to an end on soft ground behind Lake Victoria at Newmarket in the Cheveley Park; failed to cope with a 5lb penalty at Cork on return; should be close to peak fitness now.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on soft/heavy ground; useful filly whose record is 3-6; however, although proving game she was a substandard winner of the Lowther (6f Group 2) at York most recently and will need a good chunk of further improvement to follow up.

Group 2 winner at York (6f) as a juvenile who retains all her ability; usually leads or races prominently but there wasn't a problem with being held up in the Group 1 Nunthorpe (5f) at York where she ran better than the near-5l defeat suggests; drying ground will suit; good claims.

Yet to race on softer than good; strong progress over 7f features wins in the Sweet Solera (Group 3) at Newmarket and Moyglare Stud Stakes (Group 1) at the Curragh; helps to set the standard with Babouche and, like that rival, brings a 3-3 record; huge player if coping with drop to 6f.

Beaten less than a length in the Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) in June; that remains her best effort but she probably found 5f too sharp when just denied in Group 3 at Longchamp five weeks ago; still low mileage and unexposed; very interesting contender back under optimum conditions.
