Choicely bred daughter of Dubawi who didn't run again after winning 6f handicaps on the Newmarket July course (good ground; unraced on softer) last summer, always prominent; this is a stiffer task but she retains untapped potential and her stable could hardly be in better form; might be the answer.

Half-sister to this stable's Group 1 winner Naval Crown; has duly shown clear promise in novice events over 1m at this course and Kempton, both times finishing second to a stablemate (collared on the line latest); could well go one better, provided she responds favourably to the drop in trip and fitting of headgear.

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.

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.
