Form & Verdict
Only seventh when 7-1 in this race last year, albeit checked in her run 2f out; belatedly off the mark when 8-11 in a novice on 2024 reappearance and she looks at least as good as ever, including with her very close third in 1m7f Deauville Listed race on latest outing; needs extra and has been a bit below form when on good to firm.

Progressive last year, with Listed win at York's Ebor meeting (1m4f, good to firm), and after reappearing with a Listed second at Goodwood (1m4f, good) she went one better in the Group 3 Bronte Cup at York (1m6f, good); vulnerable if Estrange is at the top of her game but she's the stand-out danger.

Form & Verdict
Progressive over an extended 1m2f on last three starts, including battling her way to a win in 15-runner handicap here (good to soft) last month and second of nine in Listed race over that same C&D (good to firm) two weeks later; by Golden Horn, so there's a good chance her progress will continue now that she's upped to 1m4f; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Won 1m2f maiden at Ascot in May on reappearance; marked improvement since in Listed races at Goodwood and Newmarket, latterly outpaced well over 4f out, when towards the rear, so it was an achievement that she worked her way into fourth of 13 (upped to 1m4f, good to firm); needs to show a lot more zip to win this but she's open to further progress on just her fifth start.

Progressive in 2023 and well handicapped on best of that form; it's not been repeated and she finished last in her only two races (last August) on firmer than good; while there's renewed hope to be gained from the competitive displays on her last two outings, others look more potent as win prospects.

Smart handicap form in 2023 included C&D win in premier handicap; below par during a light campaign last year but much more encouraging effort on second start this term when forcing pace in 1m4f Cork handicap 10 days ago, rallying well when beaten a neck; less negatives than some of these regarding trip and ground so could be the one to follow Kyprios home.
