Yet to encounter ground softer than good; rather a disappointing favourite in Haydock handicap on latest 1m2f start but she was 2-2 at novice level, including a win here on debut, and may still have more to offer; interesting back at Goodwood, assuming she stays this longer distance; yard has a respectable record in this race.

Won on debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) in May and easily followed up in Windsor novice (1m2f, good) in June; she's a half-sister to her top stable's Group 3 winner Bashkirova and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie; firmly in calculations on handicap debut.

Drew 3l clear in maiden here (1m, heavy) in May on second start; manner of that win suggested that he could improve again once moved up to this trip, but the opposite happened in a 1m2f novice on good at Windsor in June; return to testing ground may be key; either way, big improvement is needed on this handicap debut in such a competitive race.

Big-priced Chelmsford second in March reads well enough but he's gone nowhere near repeating it since; goes beyond 1m2f for the first time on his handicap debut and the stiffer test needs to make a difference.

Left inauspicious debut a long way behind when 80-1 second in C&D novice in March (first-time blinkers), form that has worked out well since, but was well beaten at Lingfield later that month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.
