Form & Verdict
All three races at about 7f; quite easy to back before winning at Newmarket on sole 2yo start (soft) and has run well in two novices since, looking ready for a step up to 1m on AW in June; takes part in a warm race now handicapping but open to improvement for last year's winning yard.

Both wins have been on soft and latest was in Newbury handicap (1m) last July; went close in a French Listed race last autumn and fair fourth in Group 2 at the Curragh (1m, good) last month but she finished behind two of today's rivals in the latter race; has work to do to reverse those placings and she's never run on ground with firm in the description; tongue-tie added.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Useful form in five runs last year; went very close in a Listed race over this trip on heavy at Saint-Cloud on final start; well below her best in a Listed race on soft at Goodwood early this month; needs to find her form again on first attempt in a Group race but this does not seem a deep contest for this grade.

Form & Verdict
Best form so far when winning a Nottingham handicap on reappearance (1m, soft); had lots on her plate and couldn't raise her game in Listed company since but has more realistic claims back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Done the rounds in handicaps since 2020 but in cracking form back at this level the last twice, most recently going down narrowly in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good; acts on soft); hard to rule out with William Buick taking over; blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Reliable here over the years, winning this race in 2021 (good to firm) and runner-up 12 months ago (good to soft); another stout effort when second of 19 in the Kensington Palace in June and surprising if she isn't involved again.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Tapeta winner (at Newcastle) who has been running well since headgear was applied, especially when placed in her last three starts on turf; three of her last four outings on the AW have been in Listed company so she should find this a bit easier, but she still has plenty on against the 3yos.

Form & Verdict
Won 7f AW maiden last May; just fleeting visits to the track since and although she ran well enough from the front in 1m Sandown handicap in September (soft) she needs to step up back at this level after well held in Listed company on her return.

Usually leads and best on good to soft and soft (below best when reappearing on good ground); hung on well to her lead until near the line at Haydock in May (1m, good to soft) but the race didn't work out that well and she's now 5lb higher; needs more but still open to improvement.

Just one win (1m) from 13 attempts and unplaced all five starts this year; however, her mark is falling and she wasn't disgraced when a never-nearer fourth over 5f at Goodwood (soft) 11 days ago; today's trip might be ideal; could have a say.

1m winner for Clive Cox; campaigned over shorter for new yard and she showed lots of pace at York four weeks ago (6f, good to soft) before tiring in the final furlong; worth a crack at 5f on that evidence but not entirely solid.
