Form & Verdict

Classy filly who has only raced seven times; held her own in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot despite fears over fast ground and returned from two months off with a no-nonsense win in a Group 3 at Naas (6f, good to yielding; made most); quality sprinter who remains capable of even better and further rain won't bother her.

Form & Verdict

Flying too high in the Group 1 Matron Stakes last time and won a 7.5f Group 3 the time before; patchy profile is principally down to her tendency to fluff the start and she can't afford a slow beginning on this belated return to 6f, especially at this level.

Form & Verdict

Classy 2yo, winning a Group 2 over C&D and later third in Group 1 National Stakes; has yet to scale the same heights this season, though he wasn't far away in a Newbury 6f Group 3 in July (good to soft) and forget his last run here when losing all chance at the start.
