Form & Verdict
Showed mild lameness afterwards when beaten at 1-4 in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh seven weeks ago; had previously looked very promising indeed, winning Group 2s at Royal Ascot (beat 22 rivals in Queen Mary) and the Curragh (cruised home in Railway) in the summer; commands major respect as she bids to redeem her reputation.

Queen Mary winner; showed top-class form over 6f later in the season; had American Queen behind in fourth when winning the Cheveley Park; beating Magny Cours and Pivotal Attack readily over 7f on reappearance; travelled strongly and stayed on powerfully to win the 1,000 Guineas; had the advantage of race fitness over stablemate Precise who should get closer now.

In the same ball park as stablemate Precise on ratings and, like that filly, is a Group 1 winner at Newmarket (Cheveley Park Stakes over 6f); landed the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f) earlier in her 2yo campaign and added a Group 3 prize, with something to spare, at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; has a solid record aside from an excusable defeat at the Breeders' Cup; upped further in trip and has stamina on the dam's side; one of the main players.

Backed up Queen Mary win when much too good for the colts in the Railway Stakes; reported slightly lame after odds-on Phoenix Stakes defeat; quickly back in the groove when beating Havana Anna in the Cheveley Park; started slowly and never posed a serious threat over 5f in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; steps up to 7f, clear pick here if coping with trip/easy ground.

Maiden and Listed winner over 5f; beaten only a nose in a Group 3 over the minimum trip at Longchamp, though produced her best effort when chasing home True Love in the 6f Group 1 Cheveley Park; failed to cope with the challenge of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; appealing given her top-rating and she's unpenalised but lacks a run.

Likeable front-runner who made up into a useful juvenile, winning Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot and signing off with a good fifth in Newmarket's Cheveley Park Stakes; shaped encouragingly when fifth of 12 in Nell Gwyn Stakes back at Newmarket (7f) on her recent return, leading long way; this drop back to 6f promises to suit, so she's a big player.

One of six of these in the Cheveley Park; four-time winner at 5f and both her defeats have come at 6f; however, it wasn't the trip that beat her in a valuable sales race at York as she appeared to get outpaced before keeping on; has Listed/Super Sprint honours to her name and some course form also ticks a box.

Hasn't really kicked on since creating a very favourable impression in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in July; however, she's held in some regard by her top yard (in the Cheveley Park) and, having raced freely in her races, this drop back to 6f might benefit.
