Yard won this last year and this filly, who started joint-favourite on her 5f debut (along with a subsequent Listed winner) has a decent chance of improving now she's gained some experience and goes up in distance.

Won 7f Ayr novice as 2yo; hard to assess on 2023 form, having been highly tried in Group race before 1m looked too far on handicap debut here in May; return to 7f should suit but has something to prove overall.

Won at Ayr (7f, good) last August on her second start and remains lightly raced, but she was soundly beaten in a Group 2 over C&D (good) in September when last seen, and others have much stronger claims.

Well backed to extend a good spell with 2yos for her yard when overcoming greenness at Carlisle 25 days ago; the second and third have done little for the effort since but she sets the standard under a penalty.

Fair 2yo for Richard Fahey but went backwards last backend having missed a year (underwent wind surgery); offered a bit more over C&D last time (first-time hood; off today) but needs another good step forward.

A maiden after seven starts but put a below-par run behind him when keeping-on second at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; interesting to see whether combination of first-time blinkers and step up to 1m6f pays dividends.
