Finsceal Beo is in excellent form ahead of Friday's Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, according to her trainer Jim Bolger.
The English and Irish 1000 Guineas winner currently trades as the Betfair ante-post favourite at 3.3 for the Group One contest, and is set for an intriguing rematch with Darjina, who denied the dual Classic heroine in the French equivalent at Longchamp.
Despite the filly's hard schedule of three races in 21 days during May, trainer Bolger has given an upbeat bulletin on the chances of his superstar lifting another top prize.
"Finsceal Beo has done well since her win at the Curragh," said the Irish handler.
"She has thrived and will be a few kilos heavier than she has been for any of her previous races.
"She's been working well and I'm very happy with her."
Darjina is currently second favourite behind Finsceal Beo, with Alain De Royer-Dupre's filly available at 4.2 and Mi Emma next best at 7.2.
