Form & Verdict
Finished third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winners Gstaad and True Love over a near-6f trip at Navan on debut; ran green then and still looked a bit raw when losing out by a neck to a Ger Lyons-trained newcomer over 6f at Cork; readily landed the odds over C&D four weeks ago.

3yo filly is 3-9 with all three of her wins coming over 5f/6f at Naas; won a Group 3 over the latter trip on her seasonal return (good) and outran her odds of 28-1 when a fine 2l fourth in the Commonwealth Cup (6f, gd-fm); gets all the allowances here and the drop back to 5f should pose no problems; big chance.

Runner-up to subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner True Love in the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September and travelled well when a gutsy winner of the Group 3 Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f, good) on her reappearance; could build on that latest run and give a good account.

Maiden and Listed winner over 5f; beaten only a nose in a Group 3 over the minimum trip at Longchamp, though produced her best effort when chasing home True Love in the 6f Group 1 Cheveley Park; failed to cope with the challenge of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; appealing given her top-rating and she's unpenalised but lacks a run.

Talented maiden (stripped of a Listowel win after a positive test); best form when second to smart colt Alparslan in a sales race at this venue, and when runner-up in a 7f Group event at Chantilly; deserves a shot at this based on her second to True Love at Leopardstown six weeks ago.

A 320,000gns Breeze-up buy; made debut over C&D, showed up well before losing out to Aidan O'Brien's Charles Darwin who had two runs under his belt and subsequently won the Norfolk Stakes; underlined the quality of the Irish juvenile crop when fourth to True Love (Railway Stakes winner last Saturday) in the Queen Mary; excellent chance despite being the only maiden in the field.

Very useful two-year-old last year, second to Charles Darwin on debut before finishing fourth in Queen Mary; landed a Cork maiden in cosy fashion on return before finishing 14th of 15 in Listed company but still only beat 6l; travelled well before flattening out when seventh in competitive Ayr sprint 14 days ago on soft; open to improvement and can figure on these terms.

3yo filly whose best effort in three runs as a 2yo came when a 1.75l fourth of 23 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; last of seven in a C&D Listed race in July and not seen again until landing a 5f maiden at Cork (soft) 23 days ago; gets all the allowances and that maiden form was boosted at Navan on Saturday.
