Below market expectations the past twice and now has to prove she's as effective on turf as Tapeta; nothing from this yard can be discounted currently, though, and an easier 1m back on a faster surface should suit.

T: William Knight

Progressive mare who scored for the eighth time when beating 18-runner field at Newmarket (7f, good) at last month's Craven meeting; might need some luck in running if the field gravitates to the stands' side but thoroughly deserves this first crack at a Pattern race, with the ceiling of her ability probably yet to be reached.

Steady improver who scored three times last year, including here (1m) in May and on the July course (7f, also good to firm) two months later; also landed valuable big-field fillies' handicap at York which bodes well for this test; should be ready to roll on this return and she's much respected.

J: William Buick

The winner of seven of her 18 starts, three of the wins coming this year (including both here and the July course); finished with a flourish to beat 17 rivals at York's Ebor meeting five weeks ago and a 5lb rise doesn't look excessive; drying ground in her favour but dropping to 6f asks a new question of her; this is likely to be well run, however, and she's a contender.
