Second foal of St Leger winner Simple Verse, who won this race in 2015; Listed second on soft ground before winning a Group 3 and Group 2 over Haydock's 1m4f (good) this summer, in the latter produced later to score by 3l; ran badly when second favourite for the Yorkshire Oaks, possibly because of first run on good to firm; serious player if back to her best.

Second foal of St Leger winner Simple Verse; 4yo who has run just five times, winning three; took a Group 3 at Haydock in June by a short head; same C&D (1m4f, good; unraced on firmer) in July when produced later to win the Group 2 Lancashire Oaks by 3l; one of the top form options after that and there is a lot to like about the way she is progressing.

She was making just her third start when Listed runner-up at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) in May on reappearance, and she went one better in a Group 3 over this C&D last month (good; Lady Boba short-head second); her dam won the St Leger and she's one of two for a stable that has won this nine times; firmly on the up and can play another leading role.

Dam a useful middle-distance performer; never in the hunt over 7f on her 2yo debut 11 months ago but she should be more potent over this trip and further as a 3yo.

Both wins have come over 1m4f at Beverley and latest was in May; several creditable efforts since that last success including when a 2l third at Redcar (1m6f, good) last time; this is a deeper race but she's still unexposed at this trip and shouldn't be far away.

Three short-priced defeats since a Beverley win off 7lb lower in the spring and back at 1m2f today; will again be popular for a yard that took this in 2023 but she ran poorly in two previous tries in headgear.
