In new cheekpieces she won at Yarmouth in July and defied a 7lb rise on the July course (7f, good to firm); slower ground and the rise in class were feasible excuses at York, while last time at Ascot she was unfavoured by her track position; better can be expected here, though current mark could be an issue.

Cheekpieces did the trick when she opened her handicap account at Yarmouth in July and she defied a 7lb rise when winning another six-runner event at Newmarket (also 7f, good to firm) next time; up in grade when beaten 10l in a much bigger field at York a fortnight ago, but maybe good to soft ground was against her; same mark.

Unproven on ground slower than good; 3yo filly who seems to have been well suited by dropping back to 7f in cheekpieces, landing a six-runner handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) and making all at Newmarket (good to firm) 19 days ago; another 6lb higher in this more competitive race but can't be dismissed lightly in her current form.

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.
