Highly tried last season, showing some pretty smart form when second in a Leopardstown Group 3 and when beaten under 4l in a Curragh Group 1; edged out subsequent Oaks winner Thundering On in her Leopardstown reappearance (1m, good to yielding); ran keenly in an Ascot Group 3 last month, but it was still a decent third; sets a good standard.

Highly tried last season, showing pretty smart form when second in Leopardstown Group 3 and when beaten under 4l in Group 1 Moyglare at the Curragh; dropped to maiden company to edge out subsequent Oaks winner Thundering On on 1m Leopardstown reappearance; off since but evidently capable when fresh and likely to have a say if handling the quicker ground (raced on good or softer so far).

Frankel filly, whose dam won the 1m2f Pretty Polly for this stable; both juvenile runs came at the Curragh in October on testing ground, on second occasion staying on well into a clear second in Group 3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes over this trip; will thrive over mid-distances in time but can make her mark at 1m; could prove the one to beat if handling this better ground.

By Frankel and dam won the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly for connections; she's improved with each of her four starts and comfortably won the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when upped in trip; has shown promise on heavy ground; powered clear in the final furlong last time, providing hope that she will stay 1m4f, and she's one to consider.
