Form & Verdict
Bred for speed and justified odds-on favouritism when clearcut winner of four-runner Catterick maiden (5f, good) in May; not seen again since and has penalty to carry in this deeper race but it's very hard to gauge the limit of her ability.

Second foal from a very useful 5f winner; disappointing favourite when down the field on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last month but represents a much-respected Newmarket stable and ought to be capable of much better.

Came good for Julie Camacho with narrow turf win in first-time cheekpieces this summer and did well to finish fourth on last month's AW debut at Lingfield (first-time visor), having started slowly; remains unexposed on artificial surfaces; one to consider.

Half-brother to Irish 2,000 Guineas third Decrypt; dam useful 5f 2yo winner; always behind on debut in June but fared much better when close second to short-odds favourite in Beverley maiden (5f, good) last month, and any further progress will put him on the premises here.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to five winners, notably 5f 2yo Group 3 winner Rumble Inthejungle, and was bought for 600,000gns at a breeze-up sale in April; weakened into fourth of five when warm favourite for debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June but it would be foolish to write her off after that.

J: Charles Bishop

Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Hugo Palmer

Has an outstanding record for Oisin Murphy, winning four of five starts for him and unfortunate to not to make it a clean sweep in the other; has won over 7f and is effective on all surfaces; she tends to cut it fine but was again strong when it mattered at Hamilton (6f, good) in July and continues on the upgrade; solid chance.

Slightly disappointing when favourite for second run but was second over 5f on both starts either side of that, more recently in Ripon maiden (good) three weeks ago; won't be far away if in similar form here, and still has scope for improvement.

Best run on turf was when runner-up to a useful sort in a 5f maiden here in July (soft; third has won since); off the mark in a Kempton maiden in February, but well below his best on handicap debut at Southwell earlier this month (5f; cheekpieces); headgear retained; up to 6f for the first time.
