Form & Verdict
Recovered from slow start to win readily on debut at Ripon (6f soft) in May and stuck to her task pretty well very respectable sixth in Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last month; back in calmer waters here and a leading contender.

She's well handicapped on 2024 2yo form; last year wasn't devoid of spark but it was an underwhelming campaign and she has to raise her game.

One of her two novice wins last season came here; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners) but then only fourth of six at Newmarket, failing to convince stamina-wise over 1m.

Two 6f novice wins at two included one at York; signs of rediscovering some form when a 3l third at Doncaster (7f) on what proved to be her final run for the Quinns (same owners); not ruled out, though does have to prove her stamina for this far.

Form & Verdict
In the frame all four starts, most recently when third in Haydock maiden (6f, good) eight days ago; beginning to look exposed now but can cope if the ground is slower than good and ought to be on the premises again.

Ran well to finish second of ten at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; only 1lb higher, but she does have a bit to prove back over 5f for the first time since her debut.

Best form at 6f, including a couple of good-ground wins this term, latest in July; mostly creditable efforts since; perhaps not crying out for this return to 7f but the sharp scenario is a plus.

Form & Verdict
Made promising debut at Haydock (6f, soft) in May, overcoming greenness to finish second, but looked awkward under pressure and was slightly disappointing when only fourth at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month; others have stronger claims here.

Nine-race maiden who has shown ability, as when third of nine here (6f) last month but she didn't back it up over the same trip 12 days later; tries this far for first time and makes limited appeal despite another 2lb drop.

From an excellent family but showed just minor ability in a good 6f maiden at Kempton two weeks ago (66-1); can do better with the run behind her but still not easily recommended.
