Won 10.5f Listed race in May and followed that by taking the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) by just over 3l, going away; those improved efforts came with steps up in trip and she could have more to give at 1m4f+, if bouncing back from her flop on soft ground in Germany 18 days ago; stablemate Minnie Hauk has much better form, though.

Two wins from eight starts and opposable on the majority of her form but she took a big step forward when upped to 10.3f at Naas (good) latest, keeping on well to win that Listed race by 1l and shaping as though 1m4f could prompt further improvement; Ryan Moore's mount of the Ballydoyle three and trainer/jockey have combined to win the last two runnings; respected.
