Won seven of 11 races, including a 1m3f Listed contest in good style at Baden-Baden in May (her only start on soft ground) and a 1m4f Group 2 there in clearcut fashion in first-time cheekpieces when last seen (good to soft); Queen Of The Pride proved 3l too strong in the Lancashire Oaks on good ground, but perhaps softer is ideal and she should get that today; considered.

Her highly progressive 3yo campaign concluded with a Listed win in Germany (1m2f, good) last September and she's continued the excellent work this season, with another German Listed win (1m3f, soft) and a convincing Group 3 triumph at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last Friday; exciting and holds strong claims.

Completed a hat-trick around this time last year, the last leg a handicap over this C&D; has since taken her form to a new level, winning two Listed races on turf in Germany, the latest an emphatic success at Baden-Baden (1m3f, soft) last month; major chance with conditions not an issue; holds entries in the Nassau Stakes and Yorkshire Oaks.

Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces.
