Built upon previous promise (including on soft ground) when easily winning a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start, and reappeared with 2l win in Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) where she wore a hood and blinkers for the first time (retained today); she's followed the same route on her last two races as Minnie Hauk, who won this for Ballydoyle 12 months ago, and Ryan Moore rides; major player.

Camelot filly ran once at two; decent effort on return, taking third in a 1m2f Leopardstown fillies' maiden after making much of the running; dam is by Pivotal, and a lack of stamina may have been the issue when she faded tamely in a 1m4f maiden at Cork last month.

Camelot filly showed improvement on last month's seasonal return in 1m2f Leopardstown fillies maiden, forcing much of pace when third to a smart type (Sangreal a staying-on second); not sure this step up in trip will be in her favour (has Oaks entries) but seemingly the Ballydoyle first-choice.
