Won her first two races; disappointing when favourite for Lingfield Oaks Trial in the spring but firmly back on track when second in French Listed event (1m4f, good; collared late on after being clear over 1f out) six weeks ago; still has untapped potential.

J: Billy Loughnane

Unproven on ground slower than good; 3yo filly who seems to have been well suited by dropping back to 7f in cheekpieces, landing a six-runner handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) and making all at Newmarket (good to firm) 19 days ago; another 6lb higher in this more competitive race but can't be dismissed lightly in her current form.

Campaigned over as far as 10.3f but proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when winning in clearcut style at Yarmouth (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; now that connections have found the key, she's open to further improvement; leading contender.

Won three handicaps in a row (1m/7f, good/good to firm) prior to respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) a fortnight ago; further improvement is necessary up in grade but this 3yo's pedigree suggests the step up in trip could be a plus and she's not discounted.

Has completely taken off lately, completing the hat-track when winning at Newbury (7f, good to firm); up another 6lb, but that latest form has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second and fourth (twice); well drawn and very likely to make her presence felt; yard won this in 2021.

On a hat-trick after improved efforts to win over 1m on good ground at Thirsk and Goodwood (both under Joe Leavy); she was all out last time in a race that panned out favourably but a 4lb rise was fair and this is only her eighth race, albeit her first not over a mile.

Got off the mark on her AW reappearance in April and following a solid handicap debut she struck at Wetherby (also 7f, good to firm; made all) three weeks ago; received only a 1lb nudge for that neck success and there's a good chance we've yet to see the best of her.
