Best on good or quicker ground; has progressed as a 4yo, proving a strong finisher over the straight 1m here when winning the Kensington Palace (good to firm; just her second run at the distance) in June; ran flat when returned to 7f in July but this looks more her trip now; can go well.

Won two handicaps in a row in May (6f/7f, good to firm/good) before a below-par run at York, and she was back on song when fourth in the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle (6f, AW); this 5yo has an improving profile and could have more to offer now back up to 7f in a handicap; respected.

Excellent second in this race (good to firm) last year, when conceding weight to a winner who went on to better things; back to form when outstaying Shallow at Yarmouth (7f, good; similar terms today) in April and has since run well in a Group 3; early stumble cost her at Musselburgh since but she shouldn't be far away back in a handicap.

Tough mare who won two handicaps around this time last year, scoring at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and following up at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days later; registered plenty of other good efforts last term and was back on the scoresheet with narrow win at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago; something to find on the figures but she's the type to make her presence felt.

Highlight of last year's 2yo campaign was her fourth in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge here (6f, good); reappeared with fair Listed third at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March then mid-division in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); not ruled out now back in calmer waters.

In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap.

Kept on for second on handicap/seasonal debut at Goodwood (7f, good) in May and another big run when sixth of 25 in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last month (1m, good to firm; favourite); the drop back in trip isn't an obvious positive but this progressive 3yo is still firmly in calculations.

Always behind in the boiling cauldron of a Royal Ascot handicap last week; progressive otherwise and still has good stats, being 9-22 overall, 2-3 this term and 6-11 over 7f (1-1 over C&D); however, has to overcome a 3lb penalty for the Group 3 win achieved against her own sex in May.

Progressive mare who scored for the eighth time when beating 18-runner field at Newmarket (7f, good) at last month's Craven meeting; might need some luck in running if the field gravitates to the stands' side but thoroughly deserves this first crack at a Pattern race, with the ceiling of her ability probably yet to be reached.

Lightly raced 4yo who has been progressive on AW this year at up to 7f; faced tough task on turf debut when down the field behind Miss Information at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; may benefit from this drop back in trip but she needs to prove her effectiveness on grass.
