Form & Verdict
Beaten just under a length on debut at Fairyhouse and left the impression she would relish the step up to 7f (pedigree also suggests it should suit); form working out with a couple of rivals in behind winning Galway Festival maidens in the interim and yard's newcomers often improve plenty from their initial outings, so she has to be high on the shortlist here.

Underwhelming favourite in the 1,000 Guineas on reappearance but has left that behind with subsequent wins in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); after a slow start last time she was trapped three wide but still won in convincing fashion, and she's a leading contender in her bid for a fifth Group 1 win.

Highly progressive 2yo last season, which concluded with two Group 1 wins (7f/1m, yielding/good), and she bounced back from an underwhelming reappearance in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) to win the Irish version at the Curragh (1m, good) by just over 2l from stablemate and 1,000 Guineas winner True Love; won a Group 3 on fast ground; she's the one to beat.
