Made most to win 1m Cork maiden last October; three Group 3 contests since, against the males on first two occasions but then finding marked improvement against her own sex to win eight-runner race at Navan (1m2f, soft) on latest, making all and keeping on strongly to do it in clearcut style; she's by Derby winner Australia and there's a good chance she too will be suited by this trip; could ask the market leaders some serious questions.

Lope De Vega filly is three-parts sister to top-class mid-distance filly Tarnawa (Prix Vermeille, Prix de l'Opera, Breeders' Cup Turf), and half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Tahiyra; dam 12f Listed winner; landed odds on debut last month under patient ride in 1m Leopardstown fillies maiden, never stronger than at the finish; expected to come on considerably for that, especially over this longer trip and likely major player.
