Form & Verdict
Showed promise among inexperience on debut here (1m) in January and improved to win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) later that month; having got up in the final stride she promises to be suited by this longer trip and she's a strong contender for her top trainer.

J: Daniel Tudhope

Won four in a row last year, the first two on Polytrack/Tapeta and the last in Listed company on turf; has rather regressed in three starts since returning in February and was around 9l behind Madame Ambassador in a Group 3 at Haydock (1m4f, good) 20 days ago; needs the hood to help her turn things around; stable also runs Shining Jewel.

Unraced on softer than good; free-going sort who won four in a row in Britain, the last of which was a 1m2f Yarmouth Listed race in good style in September, with Infinite Cosmos beaten about 3l; 8-15 when second in Meydan Group 2 (1m1f) this February and it wasn't up with the Yarmouth form, but she could still prove a force at this level.

Form & Verdict
Backed into 13-2 and was strong at the finish when winning on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in February; her pedigree also suggests she'll be suited by today's extra yardage and she holds leading claims.

Strong at the finish to win debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February; plenty of stamina on the dam's side but raced a bit freely when second of six in a novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on reappearance, seemingly not helped by a steadily run race; capable of better, which is greatly needed.

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here.

Form & Verdict
Closely related to three winners and dam was a US Grade 3 winner; one of two in this race for her top stable and she may be able to leave her December debut run at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) well behind, but it's hard to be confident in her claims after that heavy defeat.

Faded to towards rear in AW novice events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and Kempton (1m3f) this month, albeit with her fifth of six in the latter appearing to be fair form in very warm company; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens.

She's a half-sister to four winners but was well beaten at 66-1 on debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in December and a transformation is needed in a first-time hood.
