Kicks off in nurseries with a reasonable mark on the back of beating two rivals over Bath's extended 5f; unraced beyond 6f, so this is a hike in trip.

T: Ed Dunlop

Progressed out of nurseries to win the 1m Group 2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster last September for the now-retired Harry Dunlop; however, she's been unable to replicate that form this year on her two runs for Ben Pauling and needs to raise her game now starting out for another new yard.

Has big-race entries over 1m and 1m4f; big improver last term for Harry Dunlop, peaking with Group 2 win in the May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft); creditable fourth in the Fillies' Mile here next time but tailed off on soft in the 1,000 Guineas on reappearance (66-1); 2yo campaign gives hope for 1m2f but she's not bred for it and gives 5lb all round today.

Big improver last term for Harry Dunlop, having gone from winning three Class 5 contests to landing the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) at odds of 40-1; creditable fourth in the Fillies' Mile here on final outing but this is much harder.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps flattered by her proximity to a good horse at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and that was nearly two months ago; it did represent an improvement, however, and this isn't a strong nursery.

Came from off the pace to win on the other course here (1m, good) in May and showed she's tactically versatile with a comfortable all-the-way success at Sandown (1m2f, good; beat Serengeti Sunset) two weeks ago; this in-form filly may have even more to offer; shortlisted.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt with a 22-1 win at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; again ran on from off the pace when respectable fourth of 13 at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 11 days later, having too much to do; that gave hope for this new trip but she did not help her cause by hanging.

Similar level of form in his first two runs (respectable RPRs) and he was predictably out of his depth in an always-strong maiden at Newmarket's July festival; considered on his nursery debut.

Anieres Girl

9st 13lb

J: Billy Garritty

Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and/or hanging, and she also refused to race on the AW last month; last week's front-running second of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f) was up with her best form, though, and she was a never-nearer third over 1m4f the time before; more to prove on soft ground.
