Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's tumbling down the weights and this represents a drop in class; 7f the query.

Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either.

Has been running over 7f but of more interest back at 6f and this is her first run at the trip on a straight track since running up against a success story at York (good to soft) in June; on the premises off 5lb lower if cheekpieces don't tip her the wrong way.

Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions.

Below-form third when favourite for the 7f nursery at the meeting last year; fourth in a Curragh Group 3 next time was good but she has suffered three heavy defeats in Listed races since (bled from the nose on reappearance); plenty of doubts after that and she looks on a stiff mark anyway.

Disappointing in sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, soft) in September but lost her right-hind shoe; showed promise on soft/very soft ground in the spring before respectable summer efforts in two Group 3 races (6f, good to firm/good), and no surprise if she bounces back with a big performance.

First run was on turf (soft) and last three have been on AW; justified favouritism in a Southwell maiden (7f) but she's been beaten 5l in both subsequent runs including on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) last month; that was after almost six months off but she needs to kick on again on this drop back in trip.

Last season concluded with a close Listed third at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) and she was third in a Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW) this July when last seen; has something to find back up in grade but she's in excellent hands and this is just her eighth run; not ruled out.

Entitled to need the run when fifth of nine to Jabaara at Musselburgh (7f) recently and was hot on the heels of that filly when close up in a Group 3 at Goodwood (7f; slightly hampered) last July; should be involved if this first experience of AW goes well.

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Ralph Beckett

Lightly raced 4yo with a useful pedigree; has two wins (6f/7f) to her name from just five attempts and she signed off last year's campaign with a very close third in a French Listed event; still has untapped potential and she's high on the list.

3/1

Verdict

The shortlist is headed by the very promising fillies SERENE SERAPH and Stop The Cavalry in that order of preference. The selection’s form stacks up well and she was impressive over C&D five weeks ago, while the second choice created a highly favourable impression at Haydock. Shakeela (third choice) is lower down the pack on bare form but she too has potential. A few others can be respected on the figures but they may have reached their ceiling already.[Steve Boow]
