Form & Verdict
Scraped home by a neck in both her races, latterly repelling the late charge of newcomer Navassa Island in a Group 3 at Naas (6f, good); it was encouraging to see the principals pull clear and she's evidently decidedly useful; hard to discount and Frankie takes over.

At 6-4, she was expected to do the business at Newmarket's Guineas meeting in early May (5f, good) and duly delivered in what's traditionally an informative maiden; came under pressure mid-race but found plenty to be strong through the line, beating the subsequent Hilary Needler winner (ninth in the Queen Mary); it's hard to fault a debut performance like that and she's strongly considered.

Has been running over 7f but of more interest back at 6f and this is her first run at the trip on a straight track since running up against a success story at York (good to soft) in June; on the premises off 5lb lower if cheekpieces don't tip her the wrong way.

Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions.

Form & Verdict
Both runs over 6f on good to firm; beaten at Redcar first time out but seemed wiser to the job in hand when prominent throughout for a 2l success at Newbury (runner-up was down the field in Wednesday's Queen Mary); debatable whether she's up to this rise in class and Kevin Stott presumably agrees having opted for the same owner's Persian Dreamer.

Well held in the Albany, otherwise a progressive filly at 6f on good/firmer; beat Dubai Hills on worse terms at Windsor most recently, taking record to 3-5; favourably weighted and one to consider.

Form & Verdict
By a Derby winner but there's speed in the pedigree; did well to overcome a slow start to win at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and it was good to see the runner-up go in next time, albeit at an ordinary level; looks a minor player raised to this grade.

Recorded a 40-1 win at Haydock (6f) on 2yo debut; has failed to match that form since, mostly finishing last; first-time headgear needs to have major effect.

Consistent without progressing and there's no obvious reason why she'll be reversing last-time-out Ripon placings with Pretty Crystal, who was making her debut; the cheekpieces tried then are now removed.

Won soft-ground 6f novice events at Doncaster and Thirsk in the space of a week on her first two starts for Alice Haynes; dropped away to finish last of the six runners on her nursery debut at Newmarket last month (Say Hello second); 4lb better off with that rival today but looks high in weights.

Initial promise for George Boughey (same ownership) and has gone 2-2 for this yard in 6f soft-ground novices in the north; did well to defy a penalty last time from a tricky draw but the handicapper hasn't held back with a 10lb rise ahead of nursery debut.
