Not at her best when a beaten favourite in a French 1m2f Group 1 last month but she's top class on her day and has a good record at Newmarket, even before winning the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes in May (1m1f) and adding the Group 1 Falmouth (1m) on the neighbouring July course; the glaring concern is the prospect of softening ground when she's been confined to good or quicker thus far.

Solid performer who has a record of 1111711221; won a Grade 1 in USA last July and was unlucky in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf; returned to Britain last month and had no trouble justifying favouritism in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm; Elmalka second); as good as ever with that emphatic success and she's a major player again under a 3lb penalty.

US trained when winning Group 2 Queen Mary as a 2yo and a stakes event at Gulfstream Park last May; found things tough in Group 1 at last year's Royal Ascot (5f) but she reappeared with a near-miss behind Soprano at Kempton in March before gaining a narrow verdict in another 1m Listed event at Goodwood (good); this is a much stiffer test but she's done well since being reinvented as a miler and should have more to offer at this trip.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Thady Gosden

Mercurial mare who is smart on her day; won 1m Group 2 at Royal Ascot and finished a close second in the Group 1 Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last year; the effect of the cheekpieces that prompted an improved fourth when bidding to retain her Ascot crown has worn off the last twice, though, including when a surprise market mover but beaten 24l in the Group 1 Nassau (1m2f, heavy) last time; wins nothing on that form, and the widest stall is not helpful, but she'd be a big threat if first-time blinkers fire her up.

Didn't make her debut until April and second time out beat the subsequent Coronation Stakes winner Cercene in a Group 3; has come up short in Group 1s won by Cinderella's Dream and Fallen Angel in her last three races, though she got closer to the Burke filly at Leopardstown when emerging from well of the pace in a first-time tongue-tie; that good to yielding ground was the slowest she's faced but wouldn't be exposed just yet.

By Dubawi out of very smart mare who was unraced beyond 1m2f; justified 4-6 favouritism in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) last August; that was her solitary race until 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in which she was a weak 22-1 but always prominent to finish fourth of ten, just over 2l behind Desert Flower; this is 1m4f but going up to at least 1m2f should suit and, after just two races, she should still have significant potential.

Close second against her own sex in two 1m Group 1s this summer, beaten a head by Fallen Angel on the second occasion; there have been possible excuses on her last two starts, namely cheekpieces then very soft ground, but she's still hard to fancy after those below-par runs; a tongue-tie goes on.
