Form & Verdict
15-8 when runner-up on recent debut at Ripon (5f, good); others have achieved considerably more (including stablemate Love Olivia) but her sister Alaskan Gold was a 2yo Listed runner-up for the trainer, who has a good record in this race, and she's open to improvement; not ruled out each-way.

Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days.

Sole filly in the field when narrow winner at 11-1 on last month's debut at Pontefract (5f, good); it was a promising start but there have been mixed messages from that form and it's likely she needs a big step forward today.

Long odds-on when breezing clear on Wolverhampton debut in May; creditable front-running third in Listed event at York (5f, good to firm) next time but she was well below that form in the Queen Mary (Group 2) at Royal Ascot; still early days and now drops back in class but she's not the only pacesetter in this line-up and others are more persuasive.

Promising second when favourite for debut at Pontefract (5f, good) and built on that to win by nearly 5l at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; the Beverley placed horses have shown promise before or after, so it was an impressive performance, and she could be in the mix.

Dam was a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner; beaten at Ripon on debut but then popped up at 33-1 in a Listed race at York (5f, good to firm), beating some of these in the process; given the strong headwind at York, she probably benefited from enjoying some crucial cover; still commands a level of respect with Listed honours already in the bag.
