Form & Verdict
Still holds Ribblesdale and Irish Oaks entries but they seem optimistic judged on her three runs to date; appeared to show some improvement when seventh of nine in last week's Lingfield Oaks Trial (1m4f, AW; 66-1) but the field finished well bunched and that form could be shaky.

Close fourth in this race (good to firm) was just about the pick of what she did last year for Jane Chapple-Hyam, going for home 4f out; ten months off, however, before tailed off behind Divina Grace for new yard (same owners); wore cheekpieces last three starts last term, now tries a visor.

Form & Verdict
Was doing her best work late on when second of eight in a 1m2f maiden here (good; 13-2) at the Guineas meeting; that was a significant step up on the form of her only 2yo start, and there should be better still to come today with the longer distance unlikely to pose her a problem.

In-form filly who ran respectably in the Haydock race won by Dora Milaje; however, faces a difficult task upped in class and needs the first-time headgear to prompt a career best.

All turf starts on good ground; 1m2f winner; has a largely consistent record, close fifth off this mark in Class 2 event at Ascot (1m) most recently; possibilities back down in grade and with Aidan Keeley taking off a useful 3lb.

Form & Verdict
Has an excellent middle-distance pedigree (by Galileo; granddaughter of Oaks winner Sariska) and last year's three runs suggested she'll excel over this sort of trip this season; ran best race when third of nine here (1m2f, good) in the autumn; fair bit to find on form with Sumo Sam but not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut over 7f on this course (good) last autumn and confirmed that impression with an excellent second to the promising Running Lion in the Pretty Polly here (1m2f, soft; 15-2) two weeks ago; stoutly bred and should have no difficulty with today's further step up in trip; emphatically the one to beat.

Came into her own once encountering the mud last term, galloping on relentlessly with front-running rides to win Group 2s over about 1m6f at Glorious Goodwood (by wide margin) and Doncaster (this race); flopped on reappearance this May, however, and although she returned from wind surgery with a satisfactory run (considering the good to firm ground) last month, she surely needs an absolute downpour.

Bred to be useful but seemed too green to do herself justice as a 2yo, not knocked about when fourth of seven at Ascot (1m) on second start; has stacks to find with Sumo Sam, but will almost certainly do better this season and should come into her own over this trip and beyond.
