Form & Verdict
Won the Group 2 Lowther Stakes over C&D (good) last August and was a fine third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago when dropped back in trip; also effective on soft ground; this 3yo holds strong form claims and makes plenty of appeal.

Prominent racer who comes firmly into the reckoning on her neck second to Mill Stream in the July Cup; last month's seventh at Haydock is best ignored as she was poorly drawn; versatile ground-wise and she shaped well when fourth to Art Power in this race 12 months ago; impossible to rule out.

Raced alone on the near side when fine fourth in this last year (good) and this front-runner has gone close in 6f Group 1s the last twice, namely the Jubilee (good to firm) and the July Cup (good); seems versatile ground-wise; another bold bid can be expected; firmly in calculations.

Well below her best on both outings this season, but she returns from a seven-week break and holds leading claims if rediscovering last year's peak form, when landing two Listed wins in September (one over C&D; has good record here); a long time since she's run well on slow ground.

Prolific mare who was successful in this race in 2021 (off 5lb lower); more miss than hit in 2023 but her Group 3 third at York in July was up there with her best efforts; usually wears cheekpieces but blinkers are now tried; no surprise to see her go well as Michael Dods bids to win this race for the third season in a row.
