Form & Verdict
All three runs at Beverley, shaping with promise on her debut when posted wide before an all the way win in a 5f novice; went too hard from the front in the Hilary Needler since; has a fair bit to find in this company but more experienced than all but one of her rivals and may be capable of making the first three stepping up in trip.

Won the novice event on this card (good to firm) last year; made the frame in handicaps in last two outings, latest at Bath (5f, firm); possibilities back here, provided she takes well to first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Raced on the unfavoured part of the track here when third on debut over this C&D, sticking to the task; winner finished third in the Albany last week and while she may come into her own over a bit further, there's every chance she'll be a big player with normal improvement from first run to second.

Form dipped in the Cheveley Park Stakes here but she may well rebound and resume the progress shown at the Curragh, where she won a Group 2 and was a close second in 7f Group 1 behind a stablemate who is currently favourite for the 1,000 Guineas; remains of interest.

Rapid progress in three runs; defeated odds-on Lady Iman in 6f Group 2 at the Curragh in June and was seen off only inside the final 1f in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud there (7f, yielding) 13 days ago; may not have reached her ceiling just yet; one of two strong contenders for the Aidan O'Brien yard.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Won a Dundalk maiden with plenty in hand on debut before another comfortable success in Listed company over 5f here last month (Queen Mary winner True Love in second) and took her record to three from three in Group 3 at Naas since; second and third from the Group 3 only mid-field in the Albany last week; still showed signs of inexperience last time so it would be no surprise if there's more to come.

Amassed an impressive CV in her opening runs last season; won her AW maiden before landing a 5f Curragh Listed contest, and a Naas Group 3; failed to justify 8-15 odds in a Curragh Group 2 before resuming progress with a Molecomb Stakes victory at Goodwood; form tapered off in her final two Group runs; big player on ratings but lacks a run.

Unraced on softer than good; down the field in the Nunthorpe when taking on her elders last time; very productive (11121) otherwise and beat some of today's rivals in the Molecomb at Goodwood; leading form claims back against own age group.

J: Joe Fanning

T: G M Lyons

High-class sprinting juvenile whose sole defeat in five starts came over 6f in June; put the record straight with another improved show to win a 5f Group 3 at Goodwood under a penalty since; that wasn't the strongest of races, her main victims having marks in the 90s, but this easy track looks sure to suit her style and with the serious weight concession from her elders she has obvious claims; has been supplemented.

Galileo Gold filly caused an upset on debut when holding Green Soul by a neck at Roscommon in May (7.5f) but didn't do herself justice in Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh recently, outpaced soon after halfway over 6f; upped in trip here and another stiff task.

Maiden tried at Group level on final four starts last season, showing smart level of form when second in Silver Flash Stakes here and final start when beaten under 4l in Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh; Irish 1,000 Guineas entry could well stay beyond 1m; big player.
