Form & Verdict
Ballydoyle filly who flopped in the Moyglare when bidding to make her record 3-3; fared better (one place behind Shuwari) in the Rockfel here while strongly shaping as if this step up to 1m is now needed; acts on soft and good to firm; may rate higher still and commands respect.

Three wins from five starts at two, including a 7f Group 3 at this venue and Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket; looked in need of further when staying on for a close-up fifth in the 1,000 Guineas on seasonal debut; disappointing favourite for the Oaks, seemingly a combination of failure to handle the track and lack of stamina; back to the drawing-board at 1m now.

Frankel filly who cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling; three wins from five starts as a 2yo culminated in Group 1 Fillies' Mile success at Newmarket (soft) where she got up close home after trouble in running; 5-1 for the 1,000 Guineas there (good) on reappearance and made steady inroads from off the pace to go down by a length in fifth; seemed to be crying out for a longer trip in those 1m races and tops this field on those two pieces of form.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced filly who brings good 7f form, notably Listed success at Sandown (soft) where she beat subsequent Moyglare winner Fallen Angel; creditable second, ending up with too much to do, in the Rockfel here (good to firm) most recently; ready for a crack at 1m and holds strong claims.

Pulverised her seven rivals in this on her second outing of last season, scoring by a whopping 12l on good to firm; couldn't quite reproduce that high-class RPR at Group 1 level in five subsequent outings in 2025 but mostly ran well, including a close second in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, soft); didn't have much to spare at the line when 1-3 for a 1m2f Nottingham Listed race on reappearance but cruised through most of that contest and will likely be a lot closer to her best this time; again the one to beat in this.

Smart filly who is a Group 3 and Group 2 winner at York (1m1f/1m2f); has plenty of Group 1 form, including placed efforts at Royal Ascot (against males) and Longchamp (close second) last season; takes on some unexposed and interesting rivals but sets a high standard for them to aim at; respected back down sharply in class.
