Form & Verdict
Big improver over her first four starts, on last two occasions winning in small fields in a novice at Haydock (11.6f, soft) and handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good; impressively made all); disappointing in Listed race at York three weeks ago, possibly racing too freely; a hood is enlisted (her classy sister Journey did well in one) and a resumption of progress is needed.

Progressive triple winner as a 3yo, including the Park Hill at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) last September; 0-4 this season but she went very close in a Group 3 at York in May and ran creditably in a Group 1 at Longchamp 18 days ago; has leading claims on this big drop back in class and she should take some stopping.

Mixed form in the second half of last season but she won the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last September in a first-time hood; reappeared with creditable second under 5lb penalty in York Group 3 (1m6f, good to firm) in May and stable has won this nine times; has won over C&D and is a leading contender provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue.

Form & Verdict
Her best two days last year came over 1m4f at Ascot, latterly when winning the Group 1 British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes in October (good to soft); made a big step back in that direction when third in Group 2 at Haydock (1m4f, soft) in early July last time, reinforcing the view that a crack at this sort of trip will suit her well.

Form & Verdict
Won a 1m6f Group 3 in each of the last three seasons, this year's at York in May; not discredited at 1m4f in early July on latest outing (behind Eshaada) and this step back up in trip will suit; ground softer than good would not hurt either; one of her peak efforts would see a big run.

Just over 8l third in this race last year; some improvement on that form in her two Group races since, latterly when reappearing in a 1m6f Group 2 at Goodwood 40 days ago in which front-running Urban Artist finished narrowly ahead of her; needs to have come on since that run.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt, when 4-5 in a 1m4f AW novice at Lingfield in July; seemed to find marked improvement when winning a Listed race at Chester (1m6f, good) 19 days ago, albeit helped by dictating a slow pace in another small field; this demands much more.

Can make the running but below form when she tried it in French Listed race on latest outing, following a respectable reappearance; no ground worries but while peak efforts make this a competitive mark, she was below that level when sixth in 2m5f Queen Alexandra here last year on her only attempt at a marathon trip and is clearly held by Calling The Wind on that result.
