Form & Verdict
Won a minor event over 1m on good ground in France last year; promising second on Irish debut at Listowel but well beaten in Royal Ascot handicap and in a 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown; fair fifth in a Listed race at Killarney nine days ago; may find a few of these too good.

Won a minor event over 1m on good ground in France last year; promising run on Irish debut at Listowel but well beaten in Royal Ascot handicap and out of her depth in a Group 3 race last time; the lowest-rated of four Joseph O'Brien runners; plenty to prove in the circumstances.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in this event last season before recording back-to-back Group wins over 7f at Doncaster and Newmarket, showing a liking for soft ground; ran creditably in Saudi Arabia in February; found 6f a bit sharp in the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh; last month's Prix Maurice de Gheest bid was ambitious; merits respect at this level.

Smart 2yo who took a while to progress as a 3yo, but ended 2023 on a high, winning a 7f Group 3 at Doncaster and Group 2 Challenge Stakes (both 7f); below best but not disgraced from bad draw in Group 2 at Riyadh in February when last seen; drop in trip and quicker ground unlikely to play to her strengths here.

Form & Verdict
Progressive form in three maidens in the spring, culminating in Curragh victory from the useful Galen, making all on good ground; was running for the first time in 12 weeks when readily taking a 7f Listed event at Cork 12 days ago; looks capable of holding her own at Pattern level.

Last year's two wins were achieved over 7f, including a Listed race at Cork; plenty of merit in a 6f Group 3 Curragh run on her final start, when fourth of 11 despite having lost considerable ground at the start; will need to avoid a recurrence but not without a chance.

Won Group 3 Nell Gwyn last year for Richard Hannon; never managed to find that form again for Hannon and struggled on first four starts for current yard this term; much more like it in first-time blinkers when 2 1/4l third to Super Sox in a 7f Listed race at Cork 16 days ago; unlikely to reverse the form with younger rival
