Dual-purpose mare, whose only Flat win came in Leopardstown 3yo maiden (1m2f); in good form however this term in very competitive handicaps, second at Navan, close fourth of 15 in 2m2f Chester Cup and 4.5l off stablemate Kizlyar when seventh of 20 in 2m4f Ascot Stakes last month; bit to find with some of these now entering Group company but don't rule out.

J: Colin Keane

Unraced on firmer than good; second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) in March on Flat handicap debut; backed that up with her excellent, close fourth of 15 when third favourite for the Chester Cup (2m2f, good; 1lb higher today) in May, coming from towards rear after a slow start; has to be considered but such a wide draw may mean she again has to come from well back.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Yard runs three; well beaten in Listed races last autumn but, fit from hurdling, made a good Flat return when second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) at the end of March; that was both her Flat handicap debut and the furthest she's been in this sphere, which opens up possibilities for her as a Flat stayer.
