Reared as the stalls opened on her turf comeback and that can be ignored; easy to back that day but being dropped 2lb won't hurt and it will have blown away the cobwebs.

Runner-up at Hamilton and Catterick (6f fillies' maiden; first-time cheekpieces) prior to being slowly away at Lingfield (7f) in early December; took her chance - always handy - back there (5f novice) a fortnight later, and has been given a four-month break since; retains potential.

Both runs over 6f on good ground; one of the favourites when a length third at Goodwood and then ran well from the front at Hamilton, beating all bar Midnight Tango who has since held her own in a pair of Group 3s; every chance in new cheekpieces.

Second on debut at Goodwood (6f, good) and has won her next two (6f, AW/good), most recently a conditions race at Chester where clear with a useful type; could have more to offer for top yard; high on the list.

Second at Goodwood before collecting by 5l at Chelmsford (6f) in a race that's worked out well; entered in the Group 2 Rockfel and the Group 1 Cheveley Park; prominent throughout last time and has the widest stall, but clearly she's useful.

Things haven't gone to plan on her three starts since her winning debut at Goodwood (6f, good) in May; she's hinted this step up to 1m may suit but she's not easy to fancy having been soundly beaten in both nurseries.

Justified joint-favouritism to score on her debut at Goodwood (good; second won by 5l next time) in May but no show when 80-1 for the Albany (also 6f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot since; half-sister to a 1m4f winner so well worth a go over this trip; enters nurseries unexposed.

Improved effort when winning a 5f fillies' maiden (heavy) at Bath two weeks ago, hanging left under pressure but keeping on well enough with the front two pulling clear; that was her first experience of ground slower than good and she could have more to offer; strong claims.

Well-bred filly who posted a sound effort when third of 12 at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in June, her third start; not seen again since but has strong claims here if the different trip-and-ground combination suits.

Seemed to need debut run, then fared better at Goodwood (6f, good) where she was beaten just over 2l in small field; leading player on the figures and would be an apt winner, with her trainer sponsoring this race.
