She was making just her third start when Listed runner-up at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) in May on reappearance, and she went one better in a Group 3 over this C&D last month (good; Lady Boba short-head second); her dam won the St Leger and she's one of two for a stable that has won this nine times; firmly on the up and can play another leading role.

Second foal of St Leger winner Simple Verse, who won this race in 2015; Listed second on soft ground before winning a Group 3 and Group 2 over Haydock's 1m4f (good) this summer, in the latter produced later to score by 3l; ran badly when second favourite for the Yorkshire Oaks, possibly because of first run on good to firm; serious player if back to her best.

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.

Completed a hat-trick around this time last year, the last leg a handicap over this C&D; has since taken her form to a new level, winning two Listed races on turf in Germany, the latest an emphatic success at Baden-Baden (1m3f, soft) last month; major chance with conditions not an issue; holds entries in the Nassau Stakes and Yorkshire Oaks.

Listed winner at Fontainebleau (1m2f, very soft) on final 3yo start and reappeared with a short-head defeat to the race-fit Queen Of The Pride in a Group 3 over this C&D (good) four weeks ago; this lightly raced 4yo could continue to progress and is firmly in calculations.

Listed winner at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) last August followed by a Group 3 second on the other track there (1m4f, good to firm); made a respectable return in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock this July, before a lesser show at Deauville (1m4f, soft) in another Group 2; below form both starts in cheekpieces, including last time; needs a career best but 1m6f is well worth a go if she's back on song.

Form & Verdict
Unraced beyond 1m2f and peak form has come on soft ground, while she made no impact in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); however, she powered ahead to win the Group 3 Pride Stakes at Newmarket (soft) last October on her sole previous attempt at 1m2f, and there's stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree, so she's worth a go at 1m4f; ran well on good going at Sandown last September; interesting.

Ex-German 6yo who won Group 3s in Italy (1m2f, good) and Germany (1m4f, good) last year in cheekpieces and ran well for a long way on last month's stable and seasonal debut in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), fading into eighth; could improve for that run and the reapplication of cheekpieces, and she's one to consider.
