Form & Verdict
Made all by 4l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May on second start and readily followed up in Newbury novice (1m, good); up in grade today but she's been impressive and is a half-sister to two Listed winners, with her dam a Group 3 winner; trainer (runs two) won this in 2015 and 2021; entered in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September and she's a key player.

One of only three defeats in 11 starts came in this race 12 months ago, despite delivering career-best form at the time in finishing second; she returns on the back of a faultless campaign, the last of three Group 1s her most commanding performance yet in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown; she sets the bar high as it is, and her upward curve might not yet have reached its peak; if holding her form she should win.

Seven-time winner has shown improved form this year to win all four starts; began with a Goodwood Listed race before taking the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes, then claiming the Falmouth Stakes and Prix Rothschild; has beaten Precise in both those Group 1s, but only narrowly last time; has to remain at her best to do so again, but is still the one to beat.

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.

Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in May on second start and runner-up the next twice, most recently on handicap debut in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); further improvement is necessary today but her dam was a Group 1 winner and there can be optimism she will continue to progress for a top stable that has won two of the last three runnings; one to consider.

Won her maiden on AW in the spring and has proved consistent since, including in course handicap at the Royal meeting and at Listed/Group 3 level; quite a keen goer and this drop to 7f for the time since her debut could be a good move; acts on soft; gets the vote.

Improved again when going down by 1l to Blue Bolt in C&D Listed event (good to firm) in July; her run of progressive form came to a halt when only fifth (American Gal second) in 1m Ascot Group 3 last time but she raced more freely than ideal.
