Form & Verdict
Impressed in Newbury Listed (1m2f, good) in May and highly creditable third in the Oaks next time, when not seeing out 1m4f as strongly as the first two; game win in the Group 1 Prix de Diane (10.5f, good to soft) last time when clear with the runner-up and this up-and-coming 3yo has leading claims.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: John & Thady Gosden

High-class performer on her day, being a triple Group 1 winner (1m-10.5f); however, there has a doubt over current form, having been well below best in three runs since finishing third in last year's Irish Champion Stakes; yet to score on ground slower than good to soft.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: John & Thady Gosden

High-class mare, a triple Group 1 winner from 1m-10.5f; better than ever in 2023 but signed off that campaign with a poor run at Ascot and could finish only ninth of 16 in the Dubai Turf at Meydan on her sole outing so far this year; now returns from six months off with a bit to prove, but like her stablemate Inspiral she'll be a major player if rediscovering her spark.

Listed win at York (1m2f, good to firm) last July and half-length second to Lilac Road in Group 2 Middleton Stakes there (1m2f, good) in May, when setting a steady pace; below par in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot but may be left alone in front here and this lightly raced 4yo is not ruled out each-way.

J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

Can front-run; disappointing on reappearance at York in May and unproven at today's trip (tried it in the 2021 Ribblesdale); however, she might have needed the run last time and has the best form in the field on account of last year's 1m2f Group 1 exploits; best efforts have come on good/faster but she showed promise on good to soft early in career; there's stamina in her pedigree and she could be a key player.

Ended last season with Listed win and Group 3 near-miss (behind Ville De Grace), and on the back of her reappearance run she was better than ever when reeling in Aristia in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York (1m2f, good) in May; has run well here and could still have more to offer; can go well.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt when winning a Listed race at York (1m, good) in May; deserves extra credit given she pulled hard early and her pedigree provides optimism regarding this step up in trip, but she could certainly do with settling better and has something to find with the principals.

5 yo Mare

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
Her highly progressive 2021 campaign ended with a staying-on third in the Group 1 Sun Chariot (1m) and she continued the fine work in May with 1m1f wins in the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes (good to firm) and Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan (good to soft); yielding to soft ground is a possible excuse for her below-par run in the 1m2f Group 1 Pretty Polly last time and she's well worth another go at this trip (dam 1m4f Listed winner); key player if bouncing back.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't really threatened in Group/Grade 1 races on her last four starts, namely the Irish Guineas, the Oaks, the Pretty Polly and the Belmont Oaks, but she's made the frame each time and was only about 1l behind Nashwa in the Oaks; she's the sole Ballydoyle representative and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will bring out something extra; each-way possibilities.
