David Wachman is hoping Curvy can continue on an upward trajectory as she gears up for the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on July 18.
The Galileo filly won two handicaps at Navan earlier in the season before stepping up for a Group Three success in the Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh in May.
Wachman then raised her sights for the Group Two Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot and she duly fended off the challenge of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Pleascach by a length.
Curvy will now switch up again to Group One level, with Wachman anticipating further improvement.
He said: "Curvy is in good shape. We're happy with her and she has come back from Ascot in good form.
"She's improving all the time, but she needs to improve again to win a Group One.
"She has a good pedigree and has the physique - as well as the size and strength.
"She was a bit weak as a two-year-old, but she has kept stepping forward.
"They all level off at some point, but hopefully she hasn't yet."
