One of three for yard; 1m Ascot novice winner (soft) last year; 6l third in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, gd-sft) on final run of 2024; well below that level in two runs this year; failed to beat a rival home in the Champions Fillies and Mares at Ascot (1m4f, good) on latest; return to softer ground needs to revive.

Dam Magical won this in 2018 and the Champion Stakes in 2019; this daughter's novice win here (soft) as 2yo preceded her 6l third in Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October; longer trips beckoned but she was not seen this season until five weeks ago when always behind in 1m2f Group 2 at the Curragh (6-1 from 10-1); needs huge overall improvement (about 9l behind One Look) but she should at least have come on since that reappearance.

Soft-ground 2yo winner last September who has been consistent in defeat this season over 1m2f-1m6f; none of those 2025 races were on soft but latest was on good to soft; perhaps a return to the mud would boost her cause.

Largely progressive sort (1m2f winner) last season but she wasn't seen out after posting just a fair fifth of seven in 1m6f Newmarket handicap in August; this demands a clear personal best after eight months off the track.

Won Sandown novice (1m2f, good) in April and contested Group 3 and Listed races the next twice before a keeping-on third when upped in trip on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); there's every chance today's further increase in distance will suit and this 3yo is one to consider.

Won a novice at Sandown (1m2f, good) in April; ran creditably in defeat since in a Group 3 at York (1m2f, good to firm) and Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft), particularly when third in the latter; this opening handicap mark is a concern but 1m4f may well suit.

Form & Verdict
150-1 in the Albany at Royal Ascot; more competitive in her two starts either side and improved markedly to win eight-runner maiden at Leicester (6f, good to firm; made most, by a head) on latest; it may prove hard to concede the 6lb all round in this race, however.

Beaten over 7l into fourth at Ascot on her debut (5f, good) but that wasn't a bad run (form franked) and her subsequent Albany Stakes defeat shouldn't be held against her; her experience will be an asset this time and she should be capable of a bigger effort.
