J: James Doyle

T: James Tate

Landed a Group 3 in Ireland last July and back in that sort of form when the ready winner of a 1m Pontefract Listed race (good) 18 days ago, readily quickening 3.25l clear of the reopposing Cheshire Dancer; went without the hood she'd worn since the start of 2024 at Pontefract and it's left off again; leading form claims but is up against some progressive 3yos.

Form since wearing a hood features 1m Listed and 1m1f Group 3 wins on British/Irish soil last term; has made the frame in Group races at York and Epsom this season; major contender in this field, provided the removal of headgear doesn't have a negative effect.

J: William Buick

T: James Tate

Listed winner on soft last May and she also won a five-runner Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good; last to first) last July; shaped okay when third to runaway winner in York Group 2 (1m2f, good to firm) on last month's reappearance; it's hard to say whether she or Chic Colombine suffered the worst nightmare run in this race last year but both ran on well to be placed and she's firmly in the mix again if getting sufficient breaks.

A hood was enlisted by new yard last term and she raised her game when winning a Listed contest at Goodwood (1m, soft) in May on reappearance and five-runner Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good; last to first) in July; off since a modest show in August; something to prove on good to firm but going beyond 1m1f for first time could suit judged on the Curragh performance.
