Form & Verdict
Below form at the Shergar Cup but it can happen at that meeting and she bounced straight back by making all over this trip at Ripon (good); back up 3lb but has to enter the reckoning; first run on Newmarket's Rowley Mile but she acted very well on the July course last season.

Form & Verdict
Highly tried earlier this season but it wasn't a strong maiden that she won at Newbury (1m3f) and she trailed home last of the three runners with no obvious excuses on her handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good); not wildly appealing on the back of that run.

Form & Verdict
Similar chance to Belhaven on their 1-2 at Sandown (1m, good) in mid-June and seemed to see out this longer trip well enough when again runner-up at Nottingham behind Reel Rosie (won easily); handicapper may have her about right so the 7lb claim of Connor Planas is welcomed.

Looked progressive when winning easily at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and she got unruly before the race when disappointing on her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft); a first-time hood might well calm her down and she remains unexposed.

Traffic problems on latest start when beaten 7.75l into fourth in a Listed heat at Galway (1m4f, yielding); previously finished 1.75l behind Ameerat Jumaira in a 1m4f Curragh handicap and is 9lb better off now; every chance of turning that form around on these terms; claims.

Form & Verdict
Three-time turf winner last year; 10lb higher than for the latest but has shown that she can deal with this mark and a greater concern would be her very laboured effort on the AW last time; saddled slipped the run before.

Three wins on turf in 2021 at up to 1m2f; made a good start to last season and although that form was not repeated, a fall in the weights meant she was not far away on two of last three starts; good record first time out heightens interest in her.

The 1-8 favourite perhaps failed to fire when she won a match at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) but she's a very well-bred filly who is fully entitled to keep progressing; dangerous to dismiss.

Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring and, following a three-month break, fell in early stages of a recent chase; should cope if there's rain about but needs to get career back on track.
