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.

Trainer, who boasts a good record with 3yos here down the seasons, won this 12 months ago; this filly is the pick on form but another expensive defeat last time leaves her with something to prove and she'll need to settle better than has often been the case, back up in trip minus the hood.
