Form & Verdict
Does not look good enough if today's rivals are on song but her close third of 11 in the Listed Galtres at York (back up to 1m4f, good to firm) on latest start was career-best form and she ran on well from off the pace having been checked over 2f out.

Coming back from 1m4f to 1m2f suited her last season; creditable minor honours in two of her three 1m2f handicaps this term, keeping on well but she has something to prove on this return to 1m4f, not least on form.

Progressive on AW last August/September, winning three in a row; repeated that form with reappearance fourth at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) this June but not so good at Sandown next time and needs overall improvement given the depth of today's opposition.

Form & Verdict
1m4f Group 3 winner at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) in July 2022 before second in the St Leger (14.5f, good to soft); had wind surgery last October and close third of five in Listed race at Newmarket this July was a creditable return, with tongue tied, but he was rather disappointing when making most with cheekpieces in a German Group 1 on latest outing; big player if he bounces back.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami; skipped clear in a 1m3f novice in July on second AW start; second favourite for Listed race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) five weeks ago, racing freely in rear before challenging well over 1f out, finishing a close third of six to Candleford; still had something to learn and could take another step forward.

Easily best form when third in 1m Group 3 at Sandown last August; not disgraced on final start (sixth in 1m2f Group 3) in that mixed campaign but no show when 25-1 for Epsom 8.5f Group 3 three weeks ago; also well beaten in this race last year (first time out) and that's her only outing on AW; others look much more solid.

Form & Verdict
Suited by 1m4f; creditable fourth of six in this race last year; hit new heights on latest two starts, winning a six-runner Listed event at Windsor (Lion's Pride a close third) and second of seven in Group 3 at Kempton; gives weight all round but has the form to be taken seriously.

7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) this July before his respectable, front-running third of five in Group 3 at Goodwood two weeks ago; there's a stamina query (after two attempts at 1m6f in 2022) and he may well need to show his best form for nearly two years.

7yo who's been lightly raced in recent years; has never raced on soft and not seen on good to soft since he was a bit below his best in this race in 2023; won one Listed race last May (made all) and another four weeks ago but he probably needs to return to 2023 form if he's to be competitive today.

Form & Verdict
Dropped to the back over 4f out in Group 3 here (1m2f, good) on final 2yo start and carried head awkwardly, but he stayed on well into second of nine; had 2,000 Guineas and Derby entries when second favourite for Listed race here (1m1f, good to soft) in April but tailed off and not seen since; likely to stay and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Best 2yo run was on turf here but he suffered heavy defeats at Newmarket in his only two turf races last term, admittedly absent five months in between; surged back to form on AW last October-December but last month's run was not so good; blinkers are given a go and overall improvement is needed.
