German 1m4f Group 2 winner who returned from an absence to finish second in two German Group 1s last autumn; reappeared with close Listed second at Chantilly (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run she may improve for, and she's the one to beat this afternoon; a visor replaces cheekpieces.

Won seven of 11 races, including a 1m3f Listed contest in good style at Baden-Baden in May (her only start on soft ground) and a 1m4f Group 2 there in clearcut fashion in first-time cheekpieces when last seen (good to soft); Queen Of The Pride proved 3l too strong in the Lancashire Oaks on good ground, but perhaps softer is ideal and she should get that today; considered.

Her highly progressive 3yo campaign concluded with a Listed win in Germany (1m2f, good) last September and she's continued the excellent work this season, with another German Listed win (1m3f, soft) and a convincing Group 3 triumph at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last Friday; exciting and holds strong claims.

Does not look good enough if today's rivals are on song but her close third of 11 in the Listed Galtres at York (back up to 1m4f, good to firm) on latest start was career-best form and she ran on well from off the pace having been checked over 2f out.

6th, 15th and 11th in his three 1m4f handicaps at this meeting; 11-week break is not a concern but slow starts have become an unwelcome habit and he's proved far more potent on AW than turf in recent years, so probably won't be able just yet to exploit what should be a favourable mark.

No shortage of races but never better than when winning a Racing League contest at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) last week, reeling in the leader late on with the first two 5l clear; has 5lb penalty but also the services of a top 3lb claimer; should go well again.
