Gained a first win in 7f Musselburgh maiden in November; not disgraced when ninth of 13 in 1m Newmarket handicap on her return last month, set a lot to do; should strip sharper here so not out of things.

Belied market weakness to get off the mark in first-time hood at Musselburgh (7f, soft; fifth start) in November; didn't match that form off this mark when sixth on nursery debut at Southwell (1m, AW) the following month; no hood for this return but any softening of the ground should be in her favour.

Two 7f Newmarket wins and a fine second in France as a juvenile; fourth in the Nell Gwyn and failed to feature in the 1,000 Guineas; found her vocation when upped to 1m2f at Goodwood, getting the better of Earth Shot; enhanced her reputation with fine third behind Diamond Necklace in the Prix de Diane; Earth Shot may have her measure at this trip.

Campaigned only over 7f/1m but she's bred to be suited by this new trip; solid form as a 2yo then ran well in the Nell Gwyn on reappearance; came up short in the 1,000 Guineas since but brings a respectable rating to this drop back in class and there's still a chance she can do better still.

Solid 2yo form with two novice wins on the Newmarket July course and a good second in valuable conditions race at Longchamp (sole 1m attempt); didn't particularly boost her Guineas claims with 2l fourth to Asleet in the Nell Gwyn (7f, good) but she may take a step forward with that reappearance outing under her belt.

11-4, beaten just over 5l when fourth of nine on debut at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June; this Dubawi filly has an attractive pedigree and could have plenty more to offer.

Made the frame in all three 2yo runs, but he started his handicap career with a remote last of six at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) this month; that was after 255 days off but he needs to bounce back with a personal best on this drop back in trip.

Promising fourth at Newbury in June (7f, good to firm); strong favourite to win a Newmarket novice last month (7f, good to soft) but she was left trailing by the winner, a newcomer who confirmed herself to be smart three weeks later; still has time to do better.

Siblings include a Listed scorer for her yard; made a promising debut when a clear second at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last August and she reappeared with a comfortable success over C&D three weeks ago; this is tougher under a penalty but she's open to more progress and is strongly respected.
