Built upon previous promise (including on soft ground) when easily winning a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start, and reappeared with 2l win in Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) where she wore a hood and blinkers for the first time (retained today); she's followed the same route on her last two races as Minnie Hauk, who won this for Ballydoyle 12 months ago, and Ryan Moore rides; major player.

Started favourite in all five juvenile appearances, culminating in an easy success in Leopardstown maiden (1m, yielding) that was won 12 months earlier by the same yard's Minnie Hauk, who followed up in this race en route to even bigger things; sister to a Chester Cup winner for her trainer, whose Cheshire Oaks record is impressive; brings strong credentials and has to be feared, assuming she takes to first-time hood/blinkers.
