Form & Verdict
Looked a class act when winning 1m2f Goodwood maiden (soft) on debut in August, rapidly in total control despite looking green; seventh of 14 when 3-1 for a 1m2f Yarmouth Listed race on much quicker ground the following month but she was beaten only 4l and there's surely more to come from her after only two starts, particularly back on a soft surface.

Very talented 5yo whose two wins last year included this race (1m4f, good; at Haydock) on reappearance; ran a cracker when second in Group 1 at Ascot (1m4f, good) on final start; that makes her the clear form pick back in this grade and she's the one to beat if ready to roll after 224 days off.

Lightly raced 4yo who played second fiddle to top filly Minnie Hauk in the Yorkshire Oaks at York last time when it was thought that good to firm ground was not ideal; record of 4-4 on good or softer features two Group wins at Haydock (1m4f) this season and the Arc de Triomphe was her long-term target, but she missed that race when scoping dirty; reportedly back on song and she's a leading contender if getting her ground.

4yo who's won four of her five starts and looked a tremendously exciting prospect in most of them; however, the one defeat was her only run on good to firm (last September; not due only to trouble in running) and her Group 2 win on good ground at Haydock last time came by just a neck at 2-7 (tactical race); the ground question is the big concern.

Form & Verdict
Wide-margin winner of a 1m2f novice on soft in April; failed to improve in three outings on good/good to firm in the summer but resumed her progress back when on deep ground for second of six in 1m4f Newbury Group 3 (heavy) a fortnight ago; outstayed near the finish on that occasion, suggesting this return to 1m2f could be ideal; leading claims.

Likeable 5yo who signed off for last year with a demolition job on 17 rivals in Listed event at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) in November; possibly ideally suited by the mud but drying ground should not inconvenience her unduly and she has made the frame in two Group 2 races over 1m6f; the one to beat if giving her running after a winter break.

Best effort last season was over 1m4f on heavy ground in October and she's shown similar form in Group 2s over about 1m6f in her only two starts this term, keeping Waardah up to her work at Goodwood on first occasion; a fair bit extra will be needed from her if she's to win this.

Closely related to 2m4f Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami; best last term when second in 1m4f Newbury Group 3 (heavy) in October; unraced this season until her battling second in Group 2 at Goodwood six weeks ago on the step up to 1m6f; that's one of the best pieces of form in this line-up and she could build on it; a leading player from top stable which runs four.

Bounced back from a below-par effort behind Canoodled at the York Ebor meeting when narrowly denied in 1m2f Haydock handicap (good to soft) in early September; C&D winner last summer but she'll require a big career best to even reach the frame in this company.
