Unexposed Australian filly who stepped up form-wise when gaining a narrow win in a Flemington Group 1 (5f, good) in February; tight between the first four there (second came from a long way back on first 5f run) and she didn't come up to scratch in one recent piece of work but is said to have thrived since arriving in Britain; others would welcome rain more but it's quite possible she will rise to the occasion and prove ahead of the pack.

Fourteenth foal; closely related to three Group 1 winners; Hydrangea (7f-1m4f; RPR 119), The United States (7f-12.5f; 116) and Hermosa (7f/1m; 115); dam 5f/5.5f winner (inc 2yo/Group 2; 117); fantastic pedigree but Lordan is on Ice Dancer for the stable so that tempers enthusiasm.

Looked decent when taking the runner-up spot in back-to-back races on softer ground at Navan (1m2f, heavy) and the Curragh (1m, soft); too keen when disappointed on good ground at Leopardstown and 1m4f trip likely stretched her too; forecast rain in her favour and she's worth another go.

Won her maiden at Leopardstown by 6l (1m, yielding to soft; runner-up beaten since and now 0-4); it's unwise to suggest that her limitations were exposed in an Oaks trial over further at Naas as that race never went entirely to plan; her very low draw could be troublesome but she's one of a bucketload in here capable of better.

Sioux Nation filly was only a length off Ice Dancer in sole start at two; 11-10 fav when hosing up in 1m Leopardstown maiden last month, but what did she beat is the question? Still, it was impressive and connections think she'll improve for better ground; there are stayers further back in her pedigree.
