Form & Verdict
Showed mild lameness afterwards when beaten at 1-4 in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh seven weeks ago; had previously looked very promising indeed, winning Group 2s at Royal Ascot (beat 22 rivals in Queen Mary) and the Curragh (cruised home in Railway) in the summer; commands major respect as she bids to redeem her reputation.

Kept busy in 2yo campaign, which featured wins in the Queen Mary at this meeting (5f, good to firm) and the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); posted second Group 1 win in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) then came second to Precise in the Irish version at the Curragh (1m, good), beaten about 2l; work to do to turn the tables on her stablemate but she maybe wasn't at her very best last time; the standout danger.

In the same ball park as stablemate Precise on ratings and, like that filly, is a Group 1 winner at Newmarket (Cheveley Park Stakes over 6f); landed the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f) earlier in her 2yo campaign and added a Group 3 prize, with something to spare, at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; has a solid record aside from an excusable defeat at the Breeders' Cup; upped further in trip and has stamina on the dam's side; one of the main players.

Hard to knock after a win in a Listed race at Naas and a close second in a Group 3 at Longchamp (both 5f on ground softer than good), but her form might have plateaued and she'll need some improvement to come out on top in her first Group 1.

Hasn't really kicked on since creating a very favourable impression in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in July; however, she's held in some regard by her top yard (in the Cheveley Park) and, having raced freely in her races, this drop back to 6f might benefit.
