Form & Verdict
Blue Point filly who cost 400,000euros as a yearling; disappointed favourite backers on AW debut (7f) but left that form trailing when making all for a clearcut success at Windsor (1m, good to firm; 100-30); the runner-up, a stablemate of Dreamasar, had won the time before; the same connections won this last year with Clove Hitch.

Runner-up in the Group 1 Sun Chariot on the other Newmarket course last October (1m, good) and this lightly raced 4yo made it two from two for this year when winning the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month, travelling well to beat Jancis by just under 2l; that latest performance suggests she's capable of landing a Group 1 prize; key player.

Lightly raced and progressive filly who completed a hat-trick in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, good to firm) last July; held in second in her final two runs last season but the first was a Group 3 and latest was in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket; sets the standard on this big drop back in class and she's a strong contender on her return.
