9st 7lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Has raced exclusively at 7f, winning four of her 12 starts; overcame a wide draw and trouble in running to win at Chester (7f, good) three weeks ago, showing a bright turn of foot and having more in hand than the 1l winning margin might suggest; up 4lb ahead of this belated first 6f run but the way she travels through her races offers serious encouragement that she will improve for it; tops the list.

9st 11lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Produced a smart turn of foot to defy a wide draw in a C&D handicap in May; unplaced twice since but her potential hasn't been dimmed, looking stretched by the trip on rain-softened ground at Epsom and then doing best of her group at Royal Ascot; drawn widest again but this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Developing into a useful 7f filly and did well to win at Chester (good) on seasonal debut, having been drawn wide and come from quite a difficult position; below-par favourite at Epsom on softer ground since but it may be best to forgive that effort; still of interest.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Lightly raced 4yo who can be difficult to settle but ran well in some quality handicaps last summer (including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and reappeared with a win at Chester (7f, good) last month; prevailed despite a wide draw and she could still have more left in the tank.

Sometimes races too freely, including when last seen, but otherwise a progressive 7f filly and her form includes good efforts in difficult circumstances at two major festivals last August; remains of interest.
