Won a novice at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May and Listed race on the other course here (1m4f, good to soft) in July; disappointing in German Oaks next time and unable to land a telling blow behind several of these in 1m4f Group 3 here (good to firm) latest; needs to return to her peak and William Buick rides Victory Queen instead.

Won at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second start and again had something to spare when landing Listed race on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to soft) in July; disappointing in the German Oaks last month but that was run on testing ground; her dam was a three-time Group 1 winner and she retains considerable potential for her leading connections.

Kept on for second on debut at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in May then went one better in good style at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm); her dam was a three-time Group 1 winner (1m/1m2f) for connections and her sire is a stamina influence; could have lots more to offer; one to consider.

Entries in the Arc/Fillies & Mares on British Champions Day might seem fanciful but she's shown a good level of form so far, going down by just a head on debut at Newmarket then showing improved form in filling the same spot at Haydock (both 1m2f); should benefit from this extra 2f and prove hard to beat; trainer took this last year.

No match for stablemate Spirited Style when third at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May on second start but she's won her next two, most recently a Listed race on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to soft); looks the Godolphin second-string but could still have a part to play.

Made debut in May and finished third on first two starts (1m2f, good/good to firm) before winning Kempton maiden (1m3f, AW), coming clear with one who easily went one better next time; this Dubawi filly could have lots more left in the tank for her top connections and is one to consider.
