Form & Verdict
Found it too much in a valuable 0-105 AW handicap off her revised mark last time but wasn't beaten far and remains open to improvement on her turf debut back from a few months off; holds leading claims for a yard in fine form.

Versatile as regards ground; broadly progressive and versatile mare whose strike-rate is 7-13; last four performances (1m4f-1m7f) were two wins at Group 2 level and second-place finishes in Group 1 races, beaten only narrowly at Longchamp most recently; currently falls short of the standard set by the other female in this field but has a trajectory that bodes well; wears first-time headgear; adds interest.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Upped to 2m for a handicap win at York Ebor meeting (good to firm) last August; tried front-running to positive effect against her own sex over about 1m6f on her subsequent two starts when winning the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (good to soft) and second in Group 1 at Longchamp (very soft); has a form chance on this return but the stayer's mantle will have to be shed.

Unraced on softer than good; fourth when she tried a Listed race and Irish Group 3 this summer, coming from last to fourth in a steadily run race for the latter over 1m6f, despite hanging right; 2m duly proved just the ticket back in a handicap at York three weeks ago, asserting late on; perhaps testing ground will offset today's shorter distance; chance if so.

Form & Verdict
Sharp improver since handicapping on the AW, winning three and going 25lb up the weights; may have hit her ceiling now and will need to improve again back on turf but her recent second, back from a short break, represented another personal best.

There was a hiccup on penultimate start (possibly pressed too strong a pace) but she's otherwise been steadily progressive in handicaps; came from off the pace for a narrow win when upped to 1m4f at Brighton latest; may have more in the tank but this is a much stronger race and all her success has been on AW or good to firm.

Had a break since a beaten favourite at Nottingham 79 days ago when she possibly pressed too strong a pace; beat all bar a Haggas favourite (since run well in a Group 3) over 1m2f here the time before; unraced past 1m2f but she's by Camelot.

Form & Verdict
Improved on last autumn's two efforts when a clear second (third a winner since) on her Newbury return, upped to this trip from 1m; hard to know the exact merits of that as yet but she remains open to further improvement now handicapping.

AW maiden winner for Peter Chapple-Hyam last term but it was an inauspicious start for this yard when suffering two heavy defeats in the spring; possibly flattered when fourth of six at Chester (10.5f, soft) four weeks ago but she's not handicapped out of this if that signals a revival in fortunes; first try at this trip (sister to a Grade 3 1m4f winner).

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; was a similar story on her 1m4f comeback early in the month and she remains vulnerable to improvers.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Closed out last season with a surprise Tapeta win and ran to a similar level on her Southwell comeback two months ago off her revised mark; this longer trip should be within range on the dam's side but she'll need to improve for it.
