Form & Verdict
Competing off level-weights when close up behind It Ain't Two on her debut (5f, good) and the runner-up is useful; no show in a Listed race next time but got back on track in a C&D maiden (good to soft; made all) three weeks ago and winners have come out of that race; much respected.

Improving filly who held her own in a Group 3 at Salisbury last time (6f, good to soft) and it's unlikely that the principals gave their true running when beaten next time (fourth is a solid yardstick); strong form claims and drying conditions are welcomed.

Form & Verdict
Won two of her first three and since placed in Listed races here (6f) and at Sandown (5f; both strong form); looked the one to beat at the weights (sent off favourite) but was only midfield in the Super Sprint; becoming exposed but if back to her best then this mark is manageable.

6f AW winner for William Haggas last summer; ran well for second (short head behind Station X and now 5lb better off) on her stable debut here last November; slow start to this campaign but there was much more to take from her latest Ayr fifth (behind Lord Bertie and Station X); unexposed on testing ground and she's one to consider.

Made all in Newbury maiden (6f, good) last month on third run and her subsequent nursery debut fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) can be upgraded as she fared best of the four in the near-side group; Miss Fascinator, who was second home from the near-side group, bolted up at Newmarket on Saturday; half-sister to yard's two-time York Listed winner Nymphadora; interesting.

Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark.

Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in May, opening her account at the ninth attempt; below that form when only third of four here (1m4f, good to firm) last time but could be dangerous on this return to 1m2f if able to dominate.
