Change of tactics and off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good; 10-1) three starts back; she's held her form well - without progressing - making the frame at Nottingham and Hamilton (8.5f); dam was a 1m2f-1m4f winner (RPR 91) so she deserves another chance to prove herself over 1m2f.

Was ridden from off the pace when getting off the mark with an improved effort in a fillies' handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; went up 2lb and produced a marginally better effort in defeat when again held up at Nottingham (8.5f, good) latest; respected from the same mark.

Four-race maiden who has shown ability and gives the impression this step up in distance will suit; open to improvement with Leicester reappearance under her belt; interesting.

Maiden; good effort when close third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June but below that on her next two starts, including when under the care of Kevin Philippart De Foy and beating one home at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago; backed into favouritism that day so interesting to see if her supporters return.

She ran her best race so far when second of six on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); she will need a bit more to defy this mark but she showed promise on her sole turf start and is unexposed.

Has raced on only AW or good to firm; won by 6l at Leicester in her second handicap and kept finding more to end well on top at the York Ebor meeting next time, both from the front over about 1m2f; stamina in her illustrious family points to 1m4f; up another 9lb but she now looks highly promising.

J: Kieran O’Neill

With the hood left off and front-running tactics adopted, she left her previous form behind to win by 6l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month on her second handicap start, breaking the track record in the process; now 11lb higher in a hotter race but this 3yo is in top hands and her illustrious pedigree provides optimism that she can rate higher still.

Hooded last three starts; races freely and is also having issues at the start; that was again in evidence when rearing before finishing fifth of six at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 20 days ago; suspicion she's better than the level currently being offered but no hood today and really could do with getting away cleanly.
