Leopardstown (1m, y) maiden winner started off season in promising fashion with impressive Cheshire Oaks (1m3f, good) victory; well beat when sent off favourite for Epsom Oaks and limit has probably been found since with fifth place finishes in Irish Oaks and Lillie Langtry; that form still puts her in with a winning chance down in grade.

Reappeared with 2l win in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good); soundly beaten when favourite for the Oaks itself on testing ground at Epsom and put firmly in her place when fifth in Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm; 5-1); wore a hood and blinkers on first two starts this season, just cheekpieces on latest; some limitations have seemingly been exposed and others saw the race out better in her two Oaks bids.

Well held in two strong turf maidens last term; Cork race in which she was 13l seventh of 11 was won by subsequent dual Group 1 winner Precise; should be better for a run in a 6f maiden at Dundalk and this trip should be more suitable; interesting in this grade with Julian Pietropaolo claiming 7lb.

Second foal; half-sister to 7f juvenile winner Attack; dam Albigna won the Prix Marcel Boussac; easy enough to back, very promising debut second in Leopardstown fillies maiden earlier this month, handy throughout in steadily-run affair when second to an all-the-way winner; looks a maiden winner in waiting but may not confirm that form with third-placed Amelia Earhart on these terms.
