8st 12lb

J: Harry Davies

T: William Haggas

Won a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft) last September and was placed at that level at York (6f, good to firm) in July; has not matched it since and others appeal more today.

Inconsistent in a light 2026 campaign but showed she retains ability with neck second in 6f Group 3 at York in July; prevailed by a neck in this contest 12 months ago and warrants respect back here.

4yo represents last year's winning yard; four-time winner including at Listed and Group 3 level; slow start to this season but back on song when denied by a neck by Flora Of Bermuda in a York Group 3 (6f, gd-fm) last month; firmly enters calculations now.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Won a Cork Listed race (5.5f, good) and Newbury Group 3 (5f, good to soft) in 2025 but hasn't got close to that form in two 5f starts this year, albeit it was a Royal Ascot Group 1 latterly; won over 6f on good to firm at the start of her career.

Useful 5f form as a 3yo, inching forward again when gaining a narrow win over Shagraan in a Group 3 at Newbury (5f, good to soft; acts on good) last September; she was entitled to need the run behind Night Raider at Newmarket in April but a big advance on her form is needed.
