Back in reasonably good form, having made the frame in last two outings, beaten only 2l at Haydock latest; still quite fresh, having had a light 2025 campaign, and is 1lb below last winning mark; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
7f maiden win last year; only scraped home at Goodwood (1m, good) in May but the form has worked out; could only manage third of five to Mercury Day over 1m at Newmarket in June but the fact she went off a short-priced favourite suggests connections don't feel this mark is beyond her; drops back to 7f on first start for ten weeks; considered.

Dual AW novice winner who has made the frame in all four handicaps, on the latest finishing narrowly behind Lexington Belle over 6f at Haydock (good to firm); leaves the impression this step up to 7f will be in her favour; respected.

Dual AW winner who gave it a good shot upped to 7f when third in a Newbury handicap (soft) in September; left the Crisfords for 32,000gns since; goes back up in grade for new yard but she's only had five handicap runs and could have more to offer at this trip; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict
Didn't need to match the pick of her juvenile form for Ralph Beckett when making a winning stable debut in a 1m Nottingham maiden in June but she took a step forward when following up in a 1m fillies' handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm; Queen's Reign third) four weeks later; ran with credit when 4l third at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) latest, with the reopposing Circe behind her; back down in trip.

Campaigned exclusively at longer trips but the way she shaped on the other track here last time (7f) suggests she's worth a go over 6f; sole start on the July course resulted in a win off this mark; interesting.

Consistent and genuine filly who has done better the more she's raced, adding to three 6f handicap wins (good and good to firm; one over C&D) with a feisty show in fourth on unfavourable terms in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, soft) last month; can have a big say back at 6f.

Three handicap wins this year (6f, good/good to firm) and another good run when sixth of 27 in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) last month; also effective at 7f and further improvement can't be ruled out, but it's necessary now upped in grade.

J: Ryan Moore

Ran well over 1m at this meeting last year; on the up as a sprinter this term, winning three of her last four starts and actually running really well on the occasion she was beaten (unsuitably soft ground); 6lb rise for her latest Class 3 win (good Topspeed figure) is fair enough but this will be a different test from anything she's previously encountered; she is a strong traveller though and Ryan Moore takes the ride.

Inconsistent but she comfortably made all at 25-1 in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month and ran as well as could be expected in a Listed race at Redcar last time (7f, soft; fifth of six); no surprise to see a bold bid now back in a handicap.
