Form & Verdict
Highly progressive at York this year where she was a comfortable Listed winner 12 days ago (6f, good); at a different course today (first run here) but she's effective away from York and is the one to beat under her 3lb penalty if her fine form continues; has handled good to soft in the past.

Prolific mare who was successful in this race in 2021 (off 5lb lower); more miss than hit in 2023 but her Group 3 third at York in July was up there with her best efforts; usually wears cheekpieces but blinkers are now tried; no surprise to see her go well as Michael Dods bids to win this race for the third season in a row.

Form & Verdict
After winning two handicaps in a row this summer (6f, good to firm) she's been unlucky in running in handicaps at York (5f/6f, good) the last twice; others have stronger form but this improving 3yo represents a top stable and her dam was a Listed winner, so may well have more left in the tank.

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
Returned to form to win four-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time out in July but she's 0-14 on turf and even her superior AW form leaves her with plenty to find in today's company.
