Form & Verdict
Frankel filly out of an unraced sister to a Listed winner; overcame distinct signs of greenness to make a winning debut at Naas (1m; soft/heavy) at the expense of a Joseph O'Brien-trained subsequent winner; seems held in some regard.

Won three of four starts last season, including a C&D Group 3 by 7l on heavy ground; also placed in a Naas Group 3 on good ground; solid return when a 2.5l third in the 1m Park Express at the Curragh last month; step back up to this trip a plus and should be too good for these, even giving weight away.

Enjoyed a hugely promising campaign last season, landing a Naas maiden and Killarney conditions race impressively before finishing 1.25l second to subsequent Group 1 winner Barnavara in Naas Group 3; finished off with a smart performance in Group 3 at Gowran over extended 1m1f, powering 7l clear (RPR 114); drop in trip no problem and the one to beat on return.

Form & Verdict
Irish Oaks entry looks fanciful after two defeats, though did show ability at Dundalk (7f) and Gowran (1m, soft); will need to take quite a step forward to be winning this.

Joined this yard for E210,000 after showing useful form in France; won a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a Listed race at Cork on final start last year; fourth at the same level at Naas on return; talented apprentice booked; may prove the pick of stable's three runners; leading chance.

Joined this yard for Eu210,000 after showing useful form in nine French races; first Irish run last spring was ordinary; much better when winning a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a similar race to this at Cork on final start, this race appears to have greater depth.

Joined this yard for 210,000euros after showing useful form in nine French races; did well to get up in the nick of time in a rated race at Galway but she was receiving weight off an older horse who had a mark of 89; this race demands improvement.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two 7f maidens on the AW but was 40-1 for handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, good) where she unseated at the start; rated only 79 so wouldn't be the obvious answer.
