Fairly useful form as a 2yo, including winning debut, but took his form to a new level with a runaway success at Southwell (7f, AW) on return 12 days ago; this is a stronger race but he is 6lb well in under the penalty and the money that came for him at Southwell strongly suggested he was thought to be smart; stall 1 is a potential query but lots to like otherwise.

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
1-1 as 2yo; shaped well on return when third in Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good); however, she ran no sort of race in the 1,000 Guineas (66-1) and is on a retrieval mission, with plenty to find on the figures.

Form & Verdict
Changed hands for £700,000 on Monday; won Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, soft) last summer; wasn't disgraced when sixth of eight in the same grade there on reappearance, fading on first go at 1m (good ground); this return to 7f should help but others have stronger claims on form.

Won a 6f maiden on debut here and was a close second to Lady Iman in a Group 3 next time; rebounded from a poor Ascot run to win a Chantilly Group 2 then was third in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes back here; shapes as if she can stay this trip and seems to be the yard's pick of five.

Won in fine style over C&D in April on debut; excellent runner-up effort behind the smart Lady Iman at Naas in May; no show in the Albany Stakes; gave a reassuring display when staying on strongly to land a Group 2 event at Chantilly; runner-up failed to advance the form in the Richmond Stakes, third has won at Group 3 at Deauville.

Form & Verdict
Went down narrowly in Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on second 2yo start and ran at least as well when fourth in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm) on reappearance; should cope with today's drop back in distance and it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet; leading contender for last year's winning stable.

Daughter of her connections' July Cup winner Starman; duly showed plenty of promise in both 2yo starts, recording a clearcut success at Nottingham (6f, good) and close second, clear of remainder, in the Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; Group 2); gives the impression she'll be suited by this further step up in distance; possibilities with additional improvement on the cards.

Daughter of her owner's high-class sprinter Starman; justified favouritism with clearcut win, despite greenness, in Nottingham maiden (6f, good); dam's side suggests 7f won't be a problem; promising contender.
