Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and progressive filly who completed a hat-trick in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, good to firm) last July; held in second in her final two runs last season but the first was a Group 3 and latest was in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket; sets the standard on this big drop back in class and she's a strong contender on her return.

Runner-up in the Group 1 Sun Chariot on the other Newmarket course last October (1m, good) and this lightly raced 4yo made it two from two for this year when winning the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month, travelling well to beat Jancis by just under 2l; that latest performance suggests she's capable of landing a Group 1 prize; key player.

Lost her unbeaten record when only seventh of 11 in last year's Group 1 Coronation over C&D at the Royal meeting but otherwise her light career has been one of progress; reeled in late by Blue Bolt in a Goodwood Listed race (1m, good) last month and it's likely she's capable of better again; considered.

Supplemented for this contest at a cost of £46,000; improving filly who is 3-3, most recently driven out for half-length success in Listed grade at York (1m, good to firm) on turf debut; now partnered for the first time by William Buick, who rode a Group 1 winner for these connections last season; very interesting upped further in class, with her bubble yet to be burst and limitations not yet exposed.

Form & Verdict
Won a Haydock maiden (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo; all three runs last season were in France and she suffered a heartbreaking demotion for connections when placed second in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, good); well held at Chantilly in her final run last term but that was the French Oaks and she may have had stamina issues over an extended 1m2f; returns after 11 months off but she's still lightly raced and needs a close look on this drop back in trip and class.

Smart hold-up mare who sometimes hits traffic; matched previous best when second in a Newmarket handicap on her April return and latest fourth of six behind Blue Bolt in Goodwood Listed event (also 1m, good) was a solid effort; stall 1 doesn't make life easy but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see her appear on the scene late if able to pick her way through.

Twice runner-up in Listed company, the latest at Kempton (1m, AW) in March; has failed to beat a rival in two starts since, though the very soft ground may have counted against her at Longchamp (1m) last time; can be given a chance on these terms if rediscovering her best form.
