Form & Verdict
Closely related to 6f winner Reminder (RPR 92) and half-sister to a further four winners (two of them in Group company); dam a 6f Group 2 winner as a 2yo (111); looks the part on paper and she's one to consider for a yard with a 33% strike-rate here (28-84).

Lightly raced filly who graduated from handicaps with a fine second of 12 in a York Listed race (1m2.5f, good, Charlotte's Web third, Molten Rock and Modern Utopia behind) in July; prominent in the market when weakening at that track (good to firm) over 1m4f last month; untested on a soft surface but she's the sort to bounce back at this trip for a yard with a solid record in this race.

Lightly raced 4yo; winning an Ascot handicap (good to firm) in May was her best form and would give her leading claims in this but that was registered over 1m; seventh of 23 in Royal Ascot handicap over that same C&D next time and beaten a neck in 1m2f Listed race here (good; just ahead of Charlotte's Web) on latest outing, but she's not a certainty to get 1m4f.

Upwardly mobile 5yo who seemed suited by the step up to 2m when winning Listed race at Newmarket (good) last autumn; ran creditably against male rivals when 8l third of eight in Group 3 Sagaro at Ascot on return; today's drop back in distance isn't an obvious positive but she may have more in the tank and should give a good account of herself.

Won 1m6f handicap at Goodwood (good to firm) last August and a first crack at 2m suited her even better when she led over 1f out to score at 20-1 in a Listed race at Newmarket (good) in September; today's Group 3 should demand plenty more but she could still have untapped potential at 2m+.
