Form & Verdict
Kept on well to justify favouritism in 1m2f novice here (good to firm) in June; fourth of seven when favourite in 1m2f handicap here was tame, notwithstanding the soft ground, but it's far too early to dismiss this well-bred filly (bred to stay 1m4f) after just four starts.

First Group race when third in Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) in June, meeting trouble in running before the first two (winner Queen Of The Pride) drew away from her late on; that was up with her best form earlier and she improved markedly to score in good style in Newmarket Listed race (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs significantly more in this but progressing well.

Won novice events here (1m2f, good) in May and at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) in June; put firmly in her place in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket (second favourite) on latest outing, which was creditable in form terms but needs to improve on this handicap debut; still early days.

Progressive during last season's first campaign and she'll be a player if tapping into that promise; in top hands and every chance she'll get back on track at some stage, but she hasn't really shone on either run this term.

Ridden by 5lb claimer Rose Dawes when winning at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) and beaten a neck at Newbury (1m5f, good); brought out quickly again when fair third of ten at Ascot (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; return to peak form should see her go well with Dawes back on board.

Completed a quickfire hat-trick last month, which means she's 3-3 since handicapping and switched to turf; won well each time, most recently at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; Class 5); now upped two grades off a much sterner mark but could well progress further; has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
All three starts on AW; 1m win at Newcastle in February; not seen again until her second of ten in another novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f) five weeks ago, making up plenty of ground late in the day on the front-running favourite; withdrawn from a handicap at Glorious Goodwood when the ground turned heavy; 1m4f can suit and she could be capable of a lot better.

Resumed her progress back on AW last twice, collared only late on by the reopposing Oh So Grand over C&D last time; seemed to look about a bit on hitting the front so it's possible today's first-time cheekpieces will help with her focus and she's 4lb better off with her old rival.

First and second in AW novices earlier this year; didn't look well treated in her first two handicaps, but she resumed her progress when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; nudged up 2lb but she has a good draw here and could make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Consistent in 1m2f handicaps this summer, including a win at Wetherby in June; needs to find a bit extra now and tries 1m4f for the first time, which is well worth the attempt given her sire but she probably needs to be a bit more amenable to restraint than she was last time out.

Form & Verdict
First and second at this track last season when front-running over 1m6f, while going close here in May meant that her top four performances in Britain have all been at Salisbury; a lesser show here over 1m4f on latest start, however, failed to prove that she's as effective at this trip.
