3 yo Filly

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Won at Goodwood (6f, soft) in June and, having been hampered here next time, she was third of five at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago when shaping as though this drop back in trip would suit; solid claims.

Won three times over 6f last year and she's dropped below her last winning mark; however, this season is turning into a struggle and after bombing out in a visor (swiftly removed) two runs back she tried a mile last time; much to prove.

Form & Verdict
Easily made all in a first-time visor at Nottingham in June (6f, good) and went very close here (5f, good to soft) eight days later; however, she's been well beaten the last twice and needs to get back on track with cheekpieces (in which she's won in the past) replacing the visor.

3 yo Filly

OR: 78

Form & Verdict
Made a winning stable debut on her reappearance at Nottingham (6f, good) in May and went very close at Goodwood (6f, good) next time; returns from a two-month break but this lightly raced 3yo may have more to offer and seems versatile ground-wise; strong claims if at the top of her game.

Made a successful stable/handicap debut after six months off at Nottingham (6f, good) in May, but her form regressed subsequently; needs the switch to Polytrack and first-time blinkers to bring about a resurgence.

Successful stable/handicap debut at Nottingham (6f, good) in May after six months off but lightly raced since; far from disgraced on first 7f attempt when sixth of 19 at York (good to soft) last month but slower conditions pose another question; cheekpieces on (has worn a hood).

Form & Verdict
Ran four times for Jane Chapple-Hyam earlier this year and was runner-up on each occasion (6f, AW/good to firm); conditions may not have been ideal on her stable debut here (7f, soft) at the end of June but she finished last and others arrive with less to prove.
