Didn't make her debut until April and second time out beat the subsequent Coronation Stakes winner Cercene in a Group 3; has come up short in Group 1s won by Cinderella's Dream and Fallen Angel in her last three races, though she got closer to the Burke filly at Leopardstown when emerging from well of the pace in a first-time tongue-tie; that good to yielding ground was the slowest she's faced but wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Unraced at two; came up short in the Irish 1,000 Guineas most recently, losing her unbeaten record (2-2 previously) and failing to confirm Group 3 placings with Cercene who has admittedly franked the form by landing the Coronation Stakes since; bottom on ratings in this field.

Third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, 1 3/4l off runner-up California Dreamer; sprang 33-1 success surprise in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot; no match for the front-running Whirl when stepped up 1m2f in the Nassau; coped well considering she was the outsider of five and running on ground that contrasted sharply with the quick surface she enjoyed at Royal Ascot.
