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.

Steadily progressive; improved form when beaten short neck in Listed race at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) on reappearance, rallying; open to further progress with that run behind her and should go well for in-form yard.

Consistent in handicaps this year, running right up to scratch when second at Newbury (7f, soft) four weeks ago; likely to perform up to her best again, but more will be needed if she's to notch a second 3yo success.

Form & Verdict
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.

Enjoying a revival over 6f, winning on good or quicker at the Rowley course and Windsor before finishing fifth at Epsom two weeks ago (soft); went through that latest race like one who is still in top form and she can prove that point back on a sound surface.

First two wins were over 7f and 1m but she coped well with the drop back to 6f when scoring at Newmarket (good) last month; that was a narrow success but she's only 2lb higher and is still unexposed as a sprinter; shortlisted.

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.
