Form & Verdict
Last season's highlight for Michael O'Callaghan was her close second in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good), and she ran well for a long way when a soundly beaten seventh of 20 on last month's seasonal and stable debut in the 1,000 Guineas (1m, soft); the drop back in trip and return to better ground could both be positives and she's one to consider.

Both wins at 7f, more recently in impressive fashion in Listed event at Epsom (good to firm) on Oaks day; shaped nicely when a never-nearer fifth of 15 in the Jersey at Royal Ascot; missed an engagement at Glorious Goodwood when the ground turned soft; has something to find on form but she still has youth on her side and isn't dismissed lightly.

Form & Verdict
Has improved since being upped to 7f this spring, going close in a Listed race at Haydock (good to soft) last time; holds leading claims provided today's ground isn't an issue; displayed considerable promise on good going last spring; well beaten on sole run on good to firm (albeit at Royal Ascot).

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, soft) on reappearance in April and has something to prove after that; however, he's had wind surgery since and was 5-5 in his 2yo campaign, including on fast ground and in two valuable sales races (6.2f/7f); key player if back on song.

Best 2yo form came on heavy ground (easy 7f Listed win) and not at the same level on either run this year; however, she kept on for fair sixth of nine in Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial at Ascot (6f, good) last month and is an interesting contender now back up in trip and back down in grade.

Form & Verdict
Unproven on turf (well beaten on soft on sole encounter) and this is much tougher than the small-field Class 4 AW handicaps (7f) he's won the last twice (gelded since); however, this very lightly raced contender has impressed this term and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie.

Best efforts last season when close up in a 7f Group 3 (good to firm) and valuable sales race in Ireland (6.5f, soft); entitled to respect on those efforts and perhaps unwise to read too much into a quiet return at Epsom (Listed).
