Form & Verdict
Short-priced favourite on all starts this term; responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when making all at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) and making most to follow up at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days later; kept responding to fend off a challenger last time, in just a five-runner race but she remains of interest despite a 5lb rise.

Highly progressive form last term, culminating in a 1m6f Listed second on soft, and better still when she got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) this June; not disgraced facing a stiff task in Goodwood Group 2 four weeks ago but needs to resume improvement.

Last season's fine improvement culminated in her 1m6f Listed second at Ascot (soft); got on top close home in 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good) on latest outing but she did not see this trip out as well as Term Of Endearment or Sueno when they clashed in York Group 3 the time before; others seem to have the edge.

Prominent racer; rattled off a four-timer in handicaps at around this trip last summer before good second of five in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot; had wind surgery prior to running right up to last year's best in Listed and Group 3 events last month; this is less competitive and she's greatly respected.

Form & Verdict
Won turf/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June, doing it fairly comfortably in the end in a five-runner race; respectable fourth of seven at Salisbury (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and 1m4f is highly plausible; needs a close look.

Kept on well to win Class 4 Goodwood handicap (good ground) when upped to this trip in June and has remained in good form since, but may have been flattered by her proximity when fourth of six in tactical Listed race at Chester (14.3f, good) in August and needs a bigger run here.

Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark.

Well-bred filly who is out of a sister to dam of French Derby winner Study Of Man; never involved when fourth of six on her Chelmsford debut (1m2f, AW) in April but she ran green and should know much more on this step up in trip; looks a likely improver and she's not ruled out for in-form yard.

Some ability in three novice events over 1m, 1m2f and 1m3f, but she was 14-1 for handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) 15 days ago and finished seventh of eight; 1m4f is worth a go but she needs to improve in the first-time headgear.
