Form & Verdict
Improved form last September, winning a Listed event in France (1m4f, good to soft) followed by this Group 3 (good to firm) and the latter form would give her an excellent chance today; it has not been repeated this term but two of her three results (all higher level) were respectable, so she's still firmly in the picture; tongue tied first time.

Raced freely when below-form seventh in this race last year (5-1); tongue tied first time when back to her best on soft ground three weeks ago, winning in good style for the second year running in 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; each-way claims if she backs it up this time round.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) from the front in July; much better form when close up since in a Group 3 at Deauville (1m4f, good; made most) and Listed race at Longchamp (1m6f, good to soft; always prominent) but she needs a fair bit better still to win this; trainer won this in 2021.

Hasn't added to 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win of last summer, albeit highly-tried on occasions, notably second in Group 3 at Newmarket; just three runs this term when well below best, second occasion in C&D conditions event in May; makes handicap debut off reduced mark but opposable.

Campaigned in good company last year after a 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win; not beaten far in a Group 3 race at Deauville and similar in a Listed race at Longhamp before 5l second in a 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; has failed to reach the same level in two runs this term.

Form & Verdict
Scored readily in a novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in July and improved markedly again when second of nine to Divina Grace in Listed race on the July course here (1m4f, good to firm; travelled best) one month later; has a bit to find, but after just three races (none on softer than good) she must bring realistic hopes of further progress.

Hasn't been able to win at Group/Listed level (0-12) since winning a maiden at two but posted a peak RPR when third of 14 in 1m2f Newcastle Group 3 last time; that entitles her to serious consideration back in a Listed race.
