T: K R Burke

Listed winner at Deauville (1m, soft) in July and even better form when placed in 7f Group 3s at Goodwood (good) and Doncaster (soft; beaten a short head) since; a 3lb penalty for the French success shouldn't prevent a prominent showing.

Listed winner at Deauville (1m, soft) in July and close third in Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) next time; below best when fifth in Group 3 at Sandown (1m, soft) last time but she travelled well and could benefit from this drop back to 7f; she's one to consider.

No match for Spiritual when second at Epsom in June but bagged a Listed win at Deauville (1m, soft) the following month and posted a career-best RPR when third in Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) 31 days ago; rain no issue for her.

Form & Verdict
Has a useful pedigree and she won when 2-1 favourite on debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) last October; that form reads well and she sets a strong standard under her 5lb penalty this afternoon.

J: Jack Kearney

Won sole 2yo start and added a fillies' handicap success at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) when making all; subsequent runs for Ralph Beckett were below her best and she has a tough draw to defy here.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Her dam was a 10.5f Listed winner in France and she belied her 50-1 odds when a promising fifth on debut at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; she failed to settle and was green, so is open to improvement; possible player.

11st 11lb

J: Daire McConville

T: Charlie Longsdon

Has been disappointing of late and can compromise her chances by over-racing, but would have strong claims if back to the form of her Newbury effort (2m, good to soft) in December, namely second to Cheltenham Festival winner White Noise; worth a second look with promising claimer Daire McConville back in the saddle.

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Charlie Longsdon

Hard-pulling tendencies proved more deleterious to her chances than usual at Kempton latest (2m, good to soft); consistency prior to that has kept her around a stone above her sole winning mark (2m, good), and although she's more reliable than most here, she's vulnerable to improvers.

Record of only 1-11 over hurdles but she is proving a consistent mare, having been placed in all four outings since the win; ran creditably at Newbury most recently and again seems likely to give her running.

Form & Verdict
Half-sister to two winners and Jim Crowley is booked for this second start, but she was well beaten at 50-1 on her debut at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last August and needs to be an entirely different proposition.

Didn't show much in her sole 2yo run and same story when last of five on her return at Haydock (1m, soft) in April; now steps up to 1m4f on her AW debut and she needs a transformation.
