Form & Verdict
Didn't look an easy ride when third of six on turf debut at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, a performance that also suggested she wasn't ahead of her mark; this longer trip may suit on breeding, though, so she has to make the shortlist.

Improved for the step up in trip last summer, winning four handicaps (1m2f to extended 1m3f); she's run creditably in both starts this year but latest Goodwood fifth suggests she's up against it once more.

Raced keenly and hung late on when behind three of today's rivals at Southwell (1m4f AW); entitled to find something on that form but she might be handicapped to the hilt now after last season's four-timer.

1-15, but almost doubled her tally when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; already due a 4lb rise for that and no issue with the return to turf, but she is up against some less exposed rivals.

Successful on Jersey in May and followed up over 1m2f on AW here in June; his two subsequent efforts have been poor and tries a change of headgear (first-time blinkers in place of cheekpieces) in a bid to get back to form.

Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark.

A hint of ability in the second of his first three starts at around 1m, but showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 17 days ago; shortlisted from the same mark with further progress a possibility.

Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round.

Highly progressive and prolific over the last 12 months or so, winning here (2m, good) in May before fine second of 16 in the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); he may be okay on slow ground; could play a leading role if at the top of his game after 81 days off.

Completed a five-timer (1m5f-2m) in April before close second of 15 in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) last month; returned to winning ways in small field at Haydock (2m, good) last time; he's 9lb higher than at Chester but has been highly progressive and could still have more left in the tank.

Stepped up on previous efforts when making a successful handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) in June, but having been raised 5lb he was a disappointing favourite over the same C&D (good) last month; not quite sure what to expect after that.

His much-improved effort when winning a C&D handicap 17 days ago (good to soft) came as no surprise judged on his SP of 11-8 favourite and he was well in command at the finish (hung left when hitting the front); 5lb higher mark likely still in range.
