Smart 2yo who took a while to progress as a 3yo, but ended 2023 on a high, winning a 7f Group 3 at Doncaster and Group 2 Challenge Stakes (both 7f); below best but not disgraced from bad draw in Group 2 at Riyadh in February when last seen; drop in trip and quicker ground unlikely to play to her strengths here. |

7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in turf handicaps over 7f/1m in the summer and put up an even better effort when second of ten in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in September; disappointed when seventh of ten in a Listed contest at Ascot (7f, good) last month (behind two of these) and needs to bounce back from that now returned to the AW. |

7th 8 (2) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Acts on any ground; emphatic winner at the York Ebor festival, completing a handicap hat-trick; subsequently a good second, behind a useful filly who dictated the pace, in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f); progressive 3yo who should continue to do well; respected. |
9/4 |

2nd 11 (10) |
17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Fast-improving filly who looked well ahead of the assessor since handicapping, most recently beating 17 rivals in emphatic style at the York Ebor festival when dropped back to 7f; versatile ground-wise; looks a potential Group performer and comes here on a roll; interesting upped in class. |

4th 6 (9) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
4yo with relatively few miles on the clock; better than ever when winning Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW) and ran just as well when close fourth in Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) later in July; bit more is required in this higher grade but she's certainly going the right way. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Badly lacks recent match practice, having been absent since Royal Ascot 2022, but won first time out as a 2yo and 3yo; showed she's a high-class filly by winning the 1,000 Guineas (good to firm) and going close in the French equivalent (good to soft) last term; should be as effective back at 7f; often front-runner; great chance at this level, provided she returns at or near the top of her game. |

7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Out of the frame in her last two starts on turf, not getting a clear run at Ascot (7f, good) last time; however, her record on the AW reads 221111132 including a convincing success under Cieren Fallon in this race last year; major player once again; stable also runs Good Gracious. |
7/2 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Best form on AW and has a strike-rate of 5-9 in that sphere, including Listed wins; midfield finish in the Sceptre took her turf record to 0-8; however, ran well (runner-up) in this contest 12 months ago and has place hopes back here. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Best form on AW and has a strike-rate of 5-9 in that sphere, including Listed wins; runner-up in that grade at Chelmsford (7f) most recently; 0-7 on grass and has been out of the money in her two turf attempts this season; percentage call is to oppose her. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Trained in Spain where she's a five-time winner; placed in Group 2 at Meydan (1m) in February and Listed event at Pontefract (6f) four weeks ago; seems versatile ground-wise; largely consistent but, judged on ratings, needs a career-best performance to land this prize. |

20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

14/1 |
|
11th 5 (13) |
2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Trained in Spain and has had eight wins, five of them last term and the last two of those were on soft; creditable third at Meydan over 7f and 1m early this year and a close second back in Spain in June, but she needs something of a different order to trouble the best of these. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm; close second on sole Group 3 attempt; placed in Listed grade over 7f at Carlisle (second to Vetiver) and Galway the last twice; down this pack on bare figures but in decent form recently and has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

3rd 6 (6) |
3rd Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Won a 5f maiden last year but showed that she stays this trip when second in a Newmarket Group 3; disappointed on seasonal debut but much better last time in a Listed event at Carlisle (7f; sft); ground no problem and should give a bold showing. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
28th Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Best efforts last season when close up in a 7f Group 3 (good to firm) and valuable sales race in Ireland (6.5f, soft); entitled to respect on those efforts and perhaps unwise to read too much into a quiet return at Epsom (Listed). |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Seems versatile ground-wise; notable effort at Meydan in January, almost collaring subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner Mawj; creditable third to Magical Sunset at Goodwood most recently, despite perhaps not having the ideal track position; appears to have a good prize in her. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Short-headed by subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner Mawj at Meydan (7f, soft) in January; well beaten herself in that Classic and although she has since run creditably in the German Guineas and the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (both 1m on good to firm), she has a fair bit to find. |
6/1 |
|
7th 1 (19) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Second to subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner Mawj at Meydan (7f, soft) in January and, after finishing well beaten in the Newmarket Classic, she was a fair third in the German Guineas (1m, good to firm); not obviously well treated off top weight but represents powerful yard and is not ruled out. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
One of two Irish challengers; respectable form in cheekpieces at Naas (6f) the last twice, winning a soft-ground Listed event then fourth in Group 3; gives the impression she'll be suited by this return to 7f; still unexposed in the headgear; could go well. |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 5lb |
Dropped in trip for career-best when landing C&D fillies Listed last month in first-time cheekpieces, coming late to beat Aussie Girl on soft; not sure she'll be as effective on this quicker ground though. |
