Form & Verdict
Inconsistent 4yo but she was on the wrong end of a pace bias when keeping on from the back for a Listed fourth at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last time, and she was a Royal Ascot handicap winner (1m, good to firm) the run before; might not be far away; unproven on slow ground.

Went very close in a handicap here (7f, soft) in May and she's shown very solid form in fast-ground 1m handicaps at Ascot on her last three starts; needs something extra to come out on top here, however.

Others have stronger form than this 5yo, who was below par in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (soft) last time; however, she's had a fine season and made all in the Group 3 Valiant Stakes at Ascot (1m, good to soft) two starts ago; also effective on good/good to firm; this course often favours prominent-racers and it will be no surprise to see a bold bid.

Unable to threaten in 7f Listed races the last twice and has plenty to find with the form principals; however, she's stayed on well each time, very much so at Carlisle latest, and she may relish this first crack at 1m; interesting each-way proposition at likely big odds; unraced on slow ground.

Tapeta winner (at Newcastle) who has been running well since headgear was applied, especially when placed in her last three starts on turf; three of her last four outings on the AW have been in Listed company so she should find this a bit easier, but she still has plenty on against the 3yos.
