Limitations have been rather exposed over 6f, notwithstanding a respectable effort in the Lowther on penultimate start; new trip needs to have positive effect.

Won at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June on second start; has come up short in Group 2 races on her two starts since (6f, good to firm) but this isn't as hot as the Lowther last time, in which she was fifth, and perhaps she'll be sharper now in first-time cheekpieces; not discounted.

Built upon the promise of her debut second at Kempton (6f, AW) to win in good style at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); however, she's since been well beaten behind two of these in the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) and has plenty to prove on the back of that.

Sent off favourite for each of her first three starts but has yet to progress from her debut effort at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last June; off since finishing third of seven in a handicap at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November but should appreciate this step back up in trip; sets the standard.

Went very close off 1lb lower mark on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (6f) and was not discredited when third in Wolverhampton novice a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack and probably won't be far away.

Queen Tamara

8st 10lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Harry Charlton

Won 7f Chepstow maiden, then ran a stormer from the front in a 7f Newmarket handicap (good to firm) last September where she tended to change direction under pressure but showed no lack of fight in dividing subsequent Listed and Group-race winners; promising but this may be needed.

Went close at Doncaster (7f, soft) in July on second start then went one better at Chepstow (7f, good); not obviously well treated off her opening mark but she's progressive and could have more to offer.
