Form & Verdict
185,000euros yearling; 4-1 when third of six on last month's Salisbury debut (1m2f, good to firm), rallying as though in need of a stiffer test (backed up by her pedigree); should come on for the experience and cannot be ruled out.

Dual 1m4f Listed winner, latterly at Clairefontaine this July on her only Listed assignment this term; ran creditably in the Yorkshire Oaks (1m4f) and Prix de Royallieu (1m6f, soft) on next two outings, before finding another Group 1 at Ascot last month far too tough (40-1); trainer has won four of the last seven renewals of this race and has major chance again if this filly runs near her best on AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Placed in all three starts, but having been sent off 4-11 she was rather disappointing when only third of 12 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; runner-up has won since and softer ground may help, but she still needs to turn things around.

Second to a subsequent Listed winner over C&D (soft) before comfortably justifying odds-on favouritism in a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, soft); there's good reason to believe this mark could be on the light side for handicap debut; strongly respected.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to the stable's high-class Pyledriver; beat four rivals on her Ascot debut (1m2f, soft) in May and probably improved when second of four finishers behind a nice sort at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) last month; return to a softer surface may help and she still holds a St Leger entry; respected.

Unexposed 4yo who scored at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in June and wasn't beaten far in a deeper race at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) last month; unraced on AW, but his sire is 11-57 (19%) here in last five seasons so a good chance he will handle the track.
