J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Won at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Goodwood (1m4f, good) during the summer and she went close in her hat-trick bid at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) last month; another good run when third in a Class 2 at Newmarket last time but was behind Vera Verto in that race and she meets her old rival on the same terms here; needs to find more at this new trip.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Progressive filly who was nicely on top in the finish when beating a solid yardstick over 1m4f at Goodwood (good), for which a 6lb rise is fair; no doubt has plenty more to offer; below par on her only previous run on ground softer than good, though that was on her debut.

4 yo Filly

OR: 85

Form & Verdict
Two 1m4f wins in the second half of 2022 (good to firm and good to soft); her form-figures this season don't make for inspiring reading but she's been banging her head against the wall in Listed races on last three starts; major player back in calmer waters.

Has won three of her last six starts including an Ayr Listed contest (1m2f, good) last month; ran well to finish fifth of 13 in a Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) 20 days ago and placed in both AW starts, but she may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type.

T: Charlie Johnston

Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to spring a surprise in a Ripon novice on her reappearance in April (1m2f, soft); not in quite the same form in a Doncaster novice when upped to this trip four weeks ago; it's too soon to write her off and she has a feasible mark for her handicap debut.

Low-mileage 4yo who recovered from slow start to take creditable fourth behind Farhh To Shy and Belhaven over C&D (soft; also suited by good) on seasonal/handicap debut in May; ran as though something was amiss a fortnight ago but has possibilities if first-time tongue-tie aids a return to form.
