Won 1m2f filles' maiden here on debut (good); subsequently placed in Navan Group 3 (1m2f, soft) and in Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) when the 2-1 favourite; testing ground may not have suited on seasonal return in the Park Express at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy); should improve for that and yard red-hot, but needs to prove effectiveness for this trip.

Reached a very useful level in three starts last season, landing 1m2f Leopardstown maiden before beaten 2.75l into second in Group 3 at Navan; stepped up in trip and beaten 2-1 favourite when third in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Ascot when last seen 288 days ago; open to further improvement; acts on soft; yard won this last year; trip may be a bit sharp on return.

Impressive on debut at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) in April; runner-up in Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, soft) when no match for the winner (subsequently fourth in the Oaks) but had to wait for a clear run and her pedigree provides optimism regarding this longer trip; this very lightly raced filly could take her form to a new level today; one to consider.

Justify filly cost 400,000euros as a yearling; sister to Listed-placed 10.5f AW winner Shamwari (RPR 97), half-sister to US 6f AW winner Faithful Ruler; dam 6f AW winner (88), sister to 1m Group 2 winner Viscount Nelson; favourite, luckless debut at Cork in September, slow to break and meeting traffic problems when only sixth; much more expected of this season but this could prove a hot maiden.

Placed in seven of her eight races but remains a maiden and becoming very expensive to follow, having been one of the favourites on the last six occasions; ability is respected but drop in trip not sure to suit and can be found wanting under pressure.

Consistent filly with six placed finishes to her name from seven starts but has been a beaten favourite on six occasions; her rating of 83 sets the standard but she has a tendency to fade late on and is proving expensive to follow.

Rated 75 after five turf starts at around 1m2f; yet to finish closer than 5l to a winner and now tries cheekpieces after wearing a visor on latest and blinkers the time before; switch to AW needs to bring about improvement.

Decent form in opening two runs but Gowran run was disappointing; she was better at the Curragh last month with a 6.25l fourth; a visor replaces the cheeckpieces worn last time and her form makes her one of the main players here.

Justify filly is out of a half-sister to Giant's Causeway: encouraging enough debut in good-class 1m Leopardstown maiden last July but didn't improve on that when odds-on third in Salisbury novice following month under positive ride; upped in trip here, good chance she'll stay and Ryan Moore's choice.

Wootton Bassett filly is first foal of a 9.5f winner (including Listed; RPR 111), herself a sister to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Roderic O'Connor; debutante appears the outsider of the Ballydoyle trio and probably best watched with the future in mind.

Half-sister to five winners including the outstanding City Of Troy; dam won the Fillies' Mile and is a sister to Oaks winner Forever Together; promising Leopardstown debut in October over 7f but didn't step forward as anticipated at Dundalk 11 days later, fading quite tamely after a positive ride; potential remains but not sure if this trip is what she wants at this relatively early stage and Moore prefers Butterfly Wings.
