6f win on debut in France as 2yo; three close calls in 6f handicaps for new yard this year but a serious turnaround is needed with Dubai Treasure on their Goodwood July run and she faded in a 6f Listed race at Pontefract since; up against it with new blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Twice made all at Kempton (6f, AW) early this year and showed good pace in front when dead-heating for fourth over 7f here (good to firm) on Saturday; this drop back to 6f looks the right move and she can make a bold bid.

Shallow

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Game effort to win a Newmarket handicap (6f, good to firm) last July and she is now 4lb lower; bounced back from some modest efforts when just missing out in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth 19 days ago (good ground; cheekpieces first time), pulling clear with a mare who has since run well in a Group 3; might not have to work too hard to get the stands' rail and she looks to hold strong claims.

Prominent racer; C&D winner who completed a Newmarket hat-trick last summer (6f, good to firm); it wasn't a vintage Listed event in which she kept on well for fifth here four weeks ago but her mark has been left unchanged and another good run should be forthcoming.

Won easily at Southwell (7f, AW) in April on her second start and good second in Yarmouth novice (7f, good to firm) next time; soundly beaten in two Listed races since (1m/7f) but has far more realistic claims now contesting her first handicap and the drop to 6f could suit this headstrong sort.

7f maiden win on AW last April; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up short; well backed on last month's seasonal/stable debut (7f, AW), staying on best (fastest final-furlong sectional) for fifth in a race not run to suit; worth another crack at 1m on that evidence; may yet do better.

Some useful form in Britain for Karl Burke before being bought by current connections for 30,000gns; made a good stable debut when a runner-up in a Gowran handicap and improved when filling the same spot dropped to 7f back there next time; those runs were on soft, while her British form is on good, so could improve, but this is a tall task; Greek Mythology is stable first-string.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot but looked unsuited by the step up to 1m; progressive over 7f previously, winning on the other Newmarket course (good to firm) then runner-up in warm race at Haydock (good); her dam was speedy and she may be suited by this first crack at sprinting.

Looked one to follow when readily seeing off seven rivals over 7f here in May; her Royal Ascot defeat over a mile is easy enough to excuse and her other runs this summer all read well enough, closely matched with Angel Shared and Shallow on two pieces of July course form; a well-run 6f would suit and she's an each-way contender at least.

Ready winner of a 7f handicap on the Rowley course in May; runner-up off this mark at Haydock next time and she has been placed in both starts since dropping back to 6f, latterly behind a smart filly at Goodwood; no obvious reason why she wouldn't go well again.

Not seen to best effect last October on final 3yo start but she'd previous gone close twice in a row, on the first occasion on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm); reappears with Oisin Murphy booked and this lightly raced filly may have more to offer this season; possible contender.
