Form & Verdict
Oaks entry who left a positive impression with her novice wins at Lingfield (AW) in December and 16 days ago, overcoming a slow start on first occasion and always prominent when well on top at 2-11 last time; has much more to do in this line-up but her stable is the dominant one in this race.

2-2 (1m/1m2f, AW) before third to subsequent Oaks runner-up Whirl in Group 3 Musidora (10.2f, good to firm; Serenity Prayer a neck ahead in second); well beaten herself in the Oaks but perhaps the slow ground and/or track didn't suit; top stable (runs three) has fine record in this race and she retains potential; not written off in first-time headgear.

By Night Of Thunder out of a Lingfield Oaks Trial winner; winning novice events at Lingfield (1m/1m2f, AW) on first two starts showed plenty of promise, which she followed with third of six in the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f, good to firm; weak 9-1) 23 days ago; may be able to improve again but Whirl left her nearly 6l behind at York.

Form & Verdict
Novice win at Newmarket (7f, good) last July; about 3l fourth in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good) in September is the best form in this field, which was followed by a poor show in France but that was on heavy going; a realistic candidate, with 1m2f likely to suit her well.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Ralph Beckett

Progressive 3yo on varied ground last season who won a Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May on her 2026 reappearance; it was a revelation, though, when she responded so well to sustained pressure to assert by four and a half lengths in the Group 2 Lancashire Oaks at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; problem today is that the Group 1 Yorkshire version includes much more daunting opposition.

Progressive 3yo last season and she improved again to win a Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May on her reappearance; this is tougher but the runner-up has franked that latest form and she could have more to offer for a trainer who excel with similar types; she's one to consider.

Progressed nicely last year, on last two outings winning a maiden at Doncaster (7f, good; always prominent) and Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, soft; made most); favourite for Curragh Group 3 (1m, good) one month ago, never getting seriously involved but it was similar form and it now looks as if she needs further than 1m; entered in Group 1s over 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f.

Won 1m Group 3 at this venue on fourth and final start at two; below-par reappearance here in April; much more like it to win the Group 3 Musidora at York a month later, led over 3f out and ran on strongly; career-best when second in the Oaks, made the running and rallied well after being headed, emerging with almost as such as credit as stablemate Minnie Hauk.

By Wootton Bassett; progressed nicely last year, on final start making most and rallying splendidly to take a 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, soft) with Giselle among those on her heels; never seriously involved on reappearance and started joint-third favourite of six for the Group 3 Musidora at York (10.3f) a month later but she led over 3f out and ran on strongly to win in style; dam 1m winner but dam's sister Hydrangea won Group 1s over 1m and 1m4f; shapes as if she will stay and has big each-way chance.
