Last season concluded with a close Listed third at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) and she was third in a Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW) this July when last seen; has something to find back up in grade but she's in excellent hands and this is just her eighth run; not ruled out.

Entitled to need the run when fifth of nine to Jabaara at Musselburgh (7f) recently and was hot on the heels of that filly when close up in a Group 3 at Goodwood (7f; slightly hampered) last July; should be involved if this first experience of AW goes well.

Lightly raced 4yo with a useful pedigree; has two wins (6f/7f) to her name from just five attempts and she signed off last year's campaign with a very close third in a French Listed event; still has untapped potential and she's high on the list.

Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive.

0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces.

0-16 but she has had some near misses along the way, notably at Wolverhampton in February (6f) when beaten a nose by a thriving rival; not so good back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago; may have to wait longer to shed her maiden tag.

Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break.
