Won two Group 1s at about 1m2f last summer, the Prix de Diane (good to soft) and Nassau (good to firm); beaten favourite on her four starts since, in Group 2 and 3 races on her two starts this term; drops back in trip and needs to get back on track, but has to respected given last year's exploits.

High-class performer on her day, being a triple Group 1 winner (1m-10.5f); however, there has a doubt over current form, having been well below best in three runs since finishing third in last year's Irish Champion Stakes; yet to score on ground slower than good to soft.

High-class mare, a triple Group 1 winner from 1m-10.5f; better than ever in 2023 but signed off that campaign with a poor run at Ascot and could finish only ninth of 16 in the Dubai Turf at Meydan on her sole outing so far this year; now returns from six months off with a bit to prove, but like her stablemate Inspiral she'll be a major player if rediscovering her spark.

A well-held third in this 12 months ago after winning a Listed race at Doncaster, in which she was no match for a subsequent Group 2 winner in this year's renewal; could strip fitter for that outing and a repeat of last year's peak efforts in a Group 3 at Epsom and the Group 1 Falmouth wouldn't see her far away; dangerous to pass over.

Two AW novice wins from her first three starts and she proved she can do it on turf when winning the competitive Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; needs to improve upon that latest form but this unexposed 3yo is in top hands and could have lots more to offer.

Won the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June and, after defeats in two Group races (albeit with an excuse on second occasion), she won a C&D Listed race (good to firm) last Friday; this lightly raced 3yo is in top hands and could develop into a Group/Grade 1 winner at some point, but she needs a sizeable leap forward if she's to prevail today.

Others have stronger form than this 5yo, who was below par in the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (soft) last time; however, she's had a fine season and made all in the Group 3 Valiant Stakes at Ascot (1m, good to soft) two starts ago; also effective on good/good to firm; this course often favours prominent-racers and it will be no surprise to see a bold bid.
