Form & Verdict
Mehmas filly is first foal of a 9.4f turf Group 3/10.6f AW winner (RPR 107), a sister to 10.5f Group 3 winner Foxes Tales, closely related to 6f 2yo/1m Group 1 winner La Collina; down the field in Naas barrier trial in May; seemingly the lesser-likely of the Harrington pair on jockey bookings.

Last on her debut (for Jessica Harrington) at the Curragh in August but she comfortably landed a 6f Southwell maiden in January before improving again when a close sixth of eight in 7f AW Listed event at Lingfield the following month; this demands another sizeable step forward though.

Low-key stable debut at the Curragh last August when trained by Jessica Harrington; left that effort well behind her when staying on strongly to beat her better-fancied stablemate in a 6f fillies' novice at Southwell last month; open to improvement but it will be needed.
