16th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Steady progress in her first four races, easily justifying favouritism in a 1m2f Windsor novice event on good to soft, prior to being pulled up early when evens in a 1m6f handicap on soft last September; absent since but it will be interesting to see whether there is market confidence behind her. |

9st 7lb |
No problem with the step up to 1m2f last time and in fact looked as though tonight's extra furlong would suit; remains open to improvement and goes on the shortlist under William Buick. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-race maiden who is the least exposed contender; went close in Bath handicap (1m, good; wore hood/tongue-tie) six weeks ago, almost collaring a rival who received a well-judged ride from the front; respected, assuming the removal of headgear doesn't have negative effect. |

Was supported ahead of her debut in a Newbury maiden last summer but blew out; has done no better in two starts since and the market will be a useful guide now upped from 7f on handicap debut. |

3rd Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

There's potential in her pedigree and she's in good hands to progress, but she was soundly beaten on turf in July/September on her first two starts and has to take a sizeable step forward here. |

Off the mark at Chepstow (1m4f) on second start for new yard but has failed to repeat that form in two subsequent runs; enough to prove off a high weight back on AW. |

Solid stable debut when second at Bath (11.5f, soft) in April; later won on soft ground at Chepstow (1m4f) and Newbury three days later perhaps came too soon; off since May but has the form to feature. |

Down the field, beaten 17l, in 1m novice event at Kempton eight weeks ago having been easy to back; in excellent hands but may be one for handicaps later on; stable has a stronger chance with Brightly. |

Six-race maiden; has made the frame on all three runs since joining Harry Eustace, fourth of 14 at Southwell (1m3f) on latest; Kaiya Fraser claims a handy 5lb today; each-way claims. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (8) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Five-race maiden who has shown some promise in two handicaps for this yard, most recently when a 3l third of 12 at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; half-sister to a useful 11.4f/1m4f winner and she's in the mix at this new trip. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial hard-puller who's going this far for the first time and will need to settle better if she's to see it out; ran fairly well behind Port Noir last Monday and does like it here but there are risks involved. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
14th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark over C&D in January and, while she's had some off days since, she wasn't beaten too far back here on her latest AW start in April; has a squeak of sorts. |

11th 9 (14) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Came good with AW win in January but has not yet built on that success and finished last in C&D event won by Fact Or Fable when back on turf last month; often refuses to settle; others look much less risky. |

28th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won four in a row last year, the first two on Polytrack/Tapeta and the last in Listed company on turf; has rather regressed in three starts since returning in February and was around 9l behind Madame Ambassador in a Group 3 at Haydock (1m4f, good) 20 days ago; needs the hood to help her turn things around; stable also runs Shining Jewel. |

16th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on softer than good; free-going sort who won four in a row in Britain, the last of which was a 1m2f Yarmouth Listed race in good style in September, with Infinite Cosmos beaten about 3l; 8-15 when second in Meydan Group 2 (1m1f) this February and it wasn't up with the Yarmouth form, but she could still prove a force at this level. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
14th start but only her second win when she upped her game markedly to win the Galtres at York (1m4f, good to firm; seventh attempt at a Listed race) three weeks ago in fine style, coming from off the pace; that followed a very close third in 1m7f Deauville Listed race and that's her only run beyond 1m4f, so there may be some untapped potential with this sort of stamina test. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Only seventh when 7-1 in this race last year, albeit checked in her run 2f out; belatedly off the mark when 8-11 in a novice on 2024 reappearance and she looks at least as good as ever, including with her very close third in 1m7f Deauville Listed race on latest outing; needs extra and has been a bit below form when on good to firm. |
11/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |

Took advantage of a good opportunity at Kempton (AW) on reappearance, then ran well on difficult terms in Haydock Group 3 (again 1m4f); placed in Listed grade last summer; not dismissed. |

0-10 for Andrew Balding but overcame trouble to win at Kempton (1m3f, AW; favourite) in February on the third of her four races for current connections; below form at Southwell latest but ran well on sole go on soft (last July) and could bounce back. |

17th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Delivered on promise shown on AW when beating three rivals on handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in April and ran at least as well when keeping-on third at Newmarket (1m, good) the following month; absent since a lesser effort in June but may still have potential. |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has nearly 3l to find with Star Guest on their previous encounter (off level weights) and it was a weak-looking four-runner handicap in which she justified favouritism at Doncaster (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces); some tail-swishing didn't go unnoticed and remains to be seen how she'll progress. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May and bounced back from lesser run on fast ground at Royal Ascot with very close third at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last month; the recent rain has been in her favour and this lightly raced 4yo could play a leading role. |
7/1 |
Verdict
There are some very interesting newcomers on show in this maiden with Sapphire Seas, Free Lovin’, Twirling and Albany all making plenty of paper appeal. ALICE KNYVET left the impression she could take a huge step forward when fourth over 7f here on her debut though and she can put that experience to good use.[Paul Smith]
