Form & Verdict
Lope De Vega filly is of obvious interest as a close relation to her trainer's brilliant Tarnawa (Prix Vermeille, Prix de l'Opera, Breeders' Cup Turf), and half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Tahiyra; dam, Listed winner by Cape Cross.

Superb pedigree; landed the odds on debut in C&D fillies' maiden early last season; failed to run to expectations in 1m2f Group 3 event at Navan in May; fair third in a Listed race at Gowran in August; satisfactory display in fourth in the Blandford Stakes.

Won C&D maiden in August before following up in Navan handicap over same trip; safely held off revised mark behind Pink Oxalis at Leopardstown and most recently didn't seem to handle heavy ground in Listowel Listed; return to better ground to suit but career-best needed to feature.

Won a 1m Naas maiden (gd-yld) in August and followed up on handicap debut off 82 at Navan (1m, yielding); progress stalled in a hot handicap at Leopardstown last time but didn't have the best of draws; could bounce back but has to prove she handles heavy ground.

4yo filly who gets weight all round; made it 2-3 over hurdles with a Listed juvenile win at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January and she improved further when a close second at Sandown (2m, good) last month; open to further progress and she's a second plausible candidate for Dan Skelton.

One of two runners for yard; well-bred filly ran similar races in maidens at Leopardstown over 1m and Gowran over just short of this trip; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained and she needs to find improvement.
