J: Jason Hart

T: Hugo Palmer

22-1 winner of the Group 3 Valiant Stakes at Ascot (1m, good) last July and good fourth in US Grade 3 (1m, firm) next time; of interest on that form but tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) three weeks ago; unraced on slow ground.

Developed into a very useful sort last term, notably Group/Grade 3 performances at Ascot (won) and Kentucky Downs (ran well); chance of landing this prize depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

9st 5lb

J: Harry Davies

T: Hugo Palmer

Made her name as a handicapper but popped up at 22-1 in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) in July and was unlucky not to finish closer in America last time (1m Grade 3m, firm); however, whether she's up to this class is debatable, and rain could scupper things anyway (unraced on anything easier than good).

9st 5lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Hugo Palmer

Has had plenty of racing but has been better than ever this summer, following her third in the Kensington Palace (handicap) at the Royal meeting here (straight 1m, good to firm) with an excellent second to Royal Dress in a 1m Pontefract Listed event on good; no match for James Tate's filly, though, and she'll require another career best to place again here.

J: Kevin Stott

Career-best form the last twice, winning at Leicester then running well off a mark of 83 in Royal Ascot handicap, both over 1m; faces a much stiffer task at the weights upped to Listed level.
