All turf starts on good or firmer; looked on the path to stardom when making virtually all to win readily in last year's Listed Pretty Polly at Newmarket (1m2f) in May but she disappointed when just 5-2 in the Group 1 Coronation over C&D at this meeting the following month, beaten nearly 14l; similar story at the same price when only sixth to Jancis on return in May but she's in good hands and those Pretty Polly memories still linger.

Has proved headstrong and she was disappointing in last two appearances, including when only 5-2 for the Coronation Stakes having bypassed the Oaks and French Oaks, but this may be the time to catch her; comfortably justified favouritism in the Pretty Polly on this card (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record to 2-2 and looking a potentially high-class filly; worth another chance.

Impressive on sole 2yo start (8.5f, AW) and in Listed race here (1m2f, good to firm) in May, racing exuberantly in front in the latter; missed the Oaks due to doubts over the trip/track and the French Oaks due to scoping dirty; Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) did not work out, lit up in the lead, but she was just 5-2 for that race, is hooded this time and could still bring potential.

Off the mark (eighth attempt) when landing a Windsor novice (1m2f, good to firm) in July but that was a narrow success in small field and she couldn't hang in there on her return visit seven days later; has had only two chances in handicaps but this is a step back up in grade and others are more persuasive.
