Four-time winner on AW but it was a personal best tackling turf for the fifth time when 66-1 second of 12 in Curragh Group 2 (1m, good; Jancis fifth, Francophone behind) 24 days ago; had a fairly soft lead that day, so it will be interesting to see if she can back it up under Ryan Moore.

T: David O’Meara

Very talented 5yo whose two wins last year included this race (1m4f, good; at Haydock) on reappearance; ran a cracker when second in Group 1 at Ascot (1m4f, good) on final start; that makes her the clear form pick back in this grade and she's the one to beat if ready to roll after 224 days off.

Lightly raced 4yo who played second fiddle to top filly Minnie Hauk in the Yorkshire Oaks at York last time when it was thought that good to firm ground was not ideal; record of 4-4 on good or softer features two Group wins at Haydock (1m4f) this season and the Arc de Triomphe was her long-term target, but she missed that race when scoping dirty; reportedly back on song and she's a leading contender if getting her ground.

C&D Group 3 winner last year, but seems most effective at 1m2f, judged on her placed efforts in the Blandford Stakes and the Prix de l'Opéra; stablemate of City Of Memphis who has the advantage of race fitness.

Won two Group 3s (1m and 1m2f) this term and went close with first-time cheekpieces in Group 1 at Longchamp (1m2f) 13 days ago; strong finish in the latter gives hope for this new trip, even if pedigree is less encouraging.

Dictated the pace and held on narrowly in Listed event at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in May and five-runner Group 2 at Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft) in July; upset a hot favourite in the latter and perhaps being unable to make the running played against her when well beaten in the Oaks in between, with the Epsom track another excuse, but she still has huge work to do if she's to turn the tables on Minnie Hauk.

Winner of a Listed race at Killarney (1m, soft) and Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good to yielding) last summer; creditable third of 12 in 1m2f Group 3 back at the Curragh (soft) on reappearance 25 days ago; likely to give a good account but has a bit to find on ratings.

Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on reappearance at Cork; Haydock third was reassuring; however, best at 1m2f-1m4f.

Form dipped in the Cheveley Park Stakes here but she may well rebound and resume the progress shown at the Curragh, where she won a Group 2 and was a close second in 7f Group 1 behind a stablemate who is currently favourite for the 1,000 Guineas; remains of interest.

By Frankel and dam won the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly for connections; she's improved with each of her four starts and comfortably won the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) in April when upped in trip; has shown promise on heavy ground; powered clear in the final furlong last time, providing hope that she will stay 1m4f, and she's one to consider.

Frankel filly, whose dam won the 1m2f Pretty Polly for this stable; fine effort on second juvenile start when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh, 4 3/4l in front of third-placed Ice Dancer; touched off in a 1m maiden at Leopardstown 13 days ago; trip will suit, stable in terrific form; could feature here despite her maiden status.

0-6 since debut win on AW last June and unproven on slow ground; however, she was a fine second in a red-hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October and reappeared with an excellent third in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m) last month; made the running on her last two starts; by Derby winner Masar and rallied in the closing stages last time, so it's possible that this sizeable step up in trip will suit; not ruled out.

Belied market position (rank outsider) by finishing second to Precise in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile over C&D but needs to prove she can back up that apparent improvement; may be flattered by her new rating and, combined with a record of 0-5 since debut success, doesn't look a solid contestant.
