Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of last month's debut third at Newbury (7f, good) to win by 5l at Thirsk (7f, good) last time; today's race could be a good opportunity for this highly likeable filly to defy a 7lb penalty.

Won over this trip in her last two qualifying runs in May but she's found things tough in two handicaps since and was beaten a long way at Newbury (1m, good to soft) last month; still unexposed but she needs to bounce back on this switch to AW.

Won over 7f at Thirsk (good) and Haydock (good to firm) in May, but finished a well-held sixth of 11 on her return/handicap debut at Sandown (7f, soft) three weeks ago; 1m should be within range, but she has questions to answer if the ground remains on the soft side.

Mixed bag for Joseph O'Brien, showing respectable form in Group races but then unable to get her head in front in lesser races; ran another sound race when pushing a progressive winner close in a 7f novice at Haydock and Ryan Moore rides on this belated handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Beaten a long way when 3-1 for last month's debut at Newmarket (1m, good to soft); a leap of faith is required to support her today but this 1,650,000euros sister to Group 1 winner Saffron Beach is in top hands and should be capable of considerably better at some stage.

J: Alexandra Egan

Won't be justifying her seven-figure yearling price but has joined the yard who trained her winning sisters (including Saffron Beach, who struck twice at the top level) and she showed enough at Southwell last month to suggest a win or two is achievable; didn't see 1m2f out at Yarmouth last week; due 2lb drop; first-time cheekpieces replace hood.

Some promise for William Haggas last year and again when third of ten on her stable/seasonal debut last month (1m, AW; hooded first time); this sister to her new yard's Group 1 1m winner Saffron Beach isn't sure to improve for the longer trip but she isn't fully exposed just yet.

Turned in four moderate efforts for William Haggas at shortish prices last year; perhaps the switch to the trainer of her Group 1-winning sister Saffron Beach and the fitting of a first-time hood will do the job.

She's been a fair fifth on both starts (7f, good/good to firm) and can give another good account, but improvement is needed to beat Woroodd.
