Form & Verdict
Half-sister to the Champion Stakes winner Bay Bridge and she made a promising start when second to the hot favourite in a 7f novice at Kempton (7f, AW; 18-1) last autumn, keeping on at one pace; has since had wind surgery; bred to be suited by today's longer trip and she may well go one better.

Half-sister to Champion Stakes winner Bay Bridge; second at Kempton (7f, AW) in November and, after wind surgery, easily went one better when 10-11 in seven-runner novice at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; stacks of promising performances in this field and hers was one of the most striking.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Lightly raced 4yo whose career highlight was her third in a fillies' Group 2 at Doncaster (1m6f, soft) last September; won her maiden on fast ground; she may have needed last month's comeback run in Group 3 at York but she was well beaten and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
By Siyouni out of the Gold Cup winner Estimate; probably too green to do herself justice when around 8l sixth of nine at Doncaster (1m, heavy; 8-1) on her only 2yo start, slowly away and making just a short-lived effort; could be a different proposition with that outing behind her.

Has been front-running; won maiden at Ripon (1m2f, good) in May and good second in handicap at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June; withdrawn when ground was soft in early August; then just 9-1 for Listed race at York (good to firm) four weeks ago, moving up to 1m4f (stacks of stamina on the dam's side) and coming only eighth of 11, which was similar to her earlier form but better was seemingly expected.

Skipped clear of her four rivals at Haydock (1m, heavy) on third start last year; below that form on handicap debut in identical conditions the following month; withdrawn at Kempton (17-2) five weeks ago after bolting before the start; needs to prove she stays 1m2f (fourth when she tried it last May) and has nine-month absence to overcome, but she is lightly raced and may still progress.

Her two wins for James Fanshawe came around 1m1f in cheekpieces on AW, most recently last June; sold 16,000gns the following month and she got tired on her stable debut at Chepstow (1m4f, good) one week ago; that was her first run for a year, however, and the drop in trip and returning cheekpieces are interesting.

Four wins for David O'Meara last year (2m/1m6f), two on Tapeta, and she's on a competitive mark on her best form; the step back up in trip may help but she's not easy to fancy judged on this year's two runs.
