Form & Verdict
Runner-up on turf in the last three of her four starts and she found more progress when only just caught at Bath (5f, firm) last time; pulled clear with an odds-on rival in that race and she has leading claims on that form.

Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable.

Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes.

Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched.

Form & Verdict
£90,000 Havana Grey filly; made a good start when justifying support with her narrow win at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in May and she wasn't disgraced when in mid-division in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last week; back in much calmer waters in this novice event and she's a key player.

Three 2yo wins last year, including C&D novice (good to soft) and Deauville Listed (5f, very soft); she's been a fair fifth in Listed races on her two starts this year (heavy/good to firm) but needs something extra now making her first handicap start off a lofty mark.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: George Boughey

Three wins as a 2yo, notably a Listed win in France last August (5f, very soft; Gaenari back in second); fifth of 12 in a Chantilly Listed race on her return in March (5.5f, heavy); stable can do little wrong at present but it could be that she would prefer slower ground.

Form & Verdict
Has had some tough assignments but she's been well held in all three runs so far, most recently when eighth of nine in the Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm); has ability but she could be more interesting when sent down the nursery route.

Well held in two starts since winning a Brighton maiden (6f, good) last month, albeit she was up against it when fifth of ten in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, good; 100-1) last time; well held in only previous AW start over C&D in August so she does have something to prove.

Sole success in eight starts came in a very winnable maiden over 6f at Brighton (good); well beaten in a C&D nursery since then and very much up against it in a race of this nature.

Form & Verdict
Down the field over 6f in first two starts but she found plenty of progress dropped in trip when an emphatic winner at Windsor (good; blinkers added) 12 days ago; showed plenty of speed with that all-the-way win and she's respected under a 4lb penalty.

Advertise filly who is out of a useful triple 5f winner (including 2yo; RPR 102); has a speedy pedigree but this looks a tough starting point and she's probably best watched.
