Has raced only on ground firmer than good; two from two on home soil, namely wins at the Newmarket tracks, notably 7f Group 3; unlucky fourth, admittedly through her own doing, in Canadian Grade 1 over 1m since (might have won with a better start); remains of major interest.

Dubawi filly who didn't need too much encouragement to make a winning debut at Newmarket in May (6f, good to firm) when Midnight Tango was back in fourth; the runner-up was Eskimo Pie who was only 3l behind the top-class True Love in the Queen Mary; has been off a while (withdrawn from last month's Princess Margaret at Ascot) but she's very promising.

A fairly useful maiden at two when an excellent seventh in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; returned with a good third in 1m Kempton novice in March but well below par when sixth in similar company at Nottingham (1m) 24 days ago; holds leading form claims if back to her best.

Winless in sprints as 2yo but had some tough tasks and was beaten only 3l in Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; off after July and had stamina as well as fitness to prove on recent return on Kempton AW (1m) where she hung on well for third against strong-finishing rivals; thereabouts.

Highly tried during last season's four-race, winless campaign, the highlight her 3l seventh of 23 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); goes beyond 6f for the first time and has been absent since July, but she can play a leading role if at the top of her game and seeing out 1m.

Ran well in Listed/Group 3 company last summer following her maiden win at Hamilton and her two lesser efforts at the end of the campaign can both be excused; this free-going filly shouldn't mind the return to sprinting but she will need to raise her game a notch.

Holding her form well, fourth in fillies' Group 3 events on her last two outings; rallied over 7f at Newmarket four weeks ago, giving hope that she'll stay this extra furlong; should give her running but she's up against some unexposed colts.

Quality 2yo form on all sorts of ground, as her seconds where behind smart horses and she wasn't beaten too far in a French Group 3; she did have the run of things up front on her Newmarket return (1m maiden, good) but was still unable to contain the less exposed So Regal; a 6lb pull with the winner could make it interesting.

Registered her second-place finishes behind useful sorts who subsequently ran well in the Fillies' Mile, then posted a good effort on bare figures in French Group 3 (started favourite; again over 1m) on final 2yo run; the form pick.

Best effort from four starts came when fourth of eight in a maiden at Chelmsford (6f, AW; the first three have all won since) in June but she was held on handicap debut at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; returns to AW with cheekpieces applied.

Best of three qualifying runs when 20-1 fourth of eight at Chelmsford (6f, AW), having tried to match the odds-on favourite for a long way in June; below that at Newbury next time but blew the start; not the first time there's been an issue in that department but does bring some potential to nurseries.
