Form & Verdict
Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.

Lightly raced 3yo who won at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in May on her third handicap start and showed similar form with Listed fifth there (7f, good to firm) in June; only eighth of 19 at York (7f, good to firm) recently but she's in top hands and could take another step forward at some point.

Unraced on ground slower than good since her debut; half-sister to Queen Elizabeth ll Jubilee Stakes winner Almeraq; placed on her first two outings this season (6f/7f) before doubling her win tally with a neck success at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in May; strong in the betting when only fifth in a Listed race there in June, but she now returns to handicap company and should still be capable of progress.

Wide-margin winner of a Lingfield novice (about 7f, good) last August but she's been on much the same mark, with little reward, since handicapping and a recent second at Newmarket was a remote one; needs weight off back.

Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

Hooded both starts; never raced smoothly from the word go on Salisbury debut (6f) so did well to force a dead-heat on the line; looked more professional when third under a penalty at Thirsk (7f; also good to firm) four weeks ago and this stiffer test at the trip can suit; should improve.
