Sole win from seven starts came in a Wolverhampton novice (8.5f, AW) in October; she ran well when runner-up in a handicap there in April but well beaten over 1m2f on turf in two starts since and now drops to 7f for the first time since her debut; cheekpieces applied.

A fair 8.5f juvenile winner; made a bright start to handicapping with Wolverhampton runner-up in April and best forgiven her Ascot (1m2f) seventh last month when suffering a poor run; she remains with potential and is a player here.

Has had plenty of chances, runner-up on four of six maiden runs over shorter trips, most recently on turf return when clear second over 1m2f at Naas in late April; good chance she'll get this trip (Irish Oaks entry) but will need to improve for it.

Lope De Vega filly has finished runner-up in 8.5f Wolverhampton fillies' novice in October and in C&D maiden last month when clear second to a lesser-fancied stablemate, having been slowly away; suspicion is she still has more to offer so could go well.
