Form & Verdict
Favourite all four starts; edged ahead close home in a novice event at Salisbury (1m, heavy) last October and five-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in July; creditable fifth of 13 in a strong race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but she needs better.

3-6 for Ralph Beckett, including a 1m4f handicap win at Newmarket last October on good ground (previous wins were on heavy and good to soft); similar form this season in Ireland over 1m2f, 1m4f and 1m6f for new yard, without a win but the last two of those assignments were Group 3 (with cheekpieces enlisted) and she has a similar form chance to most in this line-up.

Winner of three of her six races for Ralph Beckett; purchased for 300,000gns and cracking effort on seasonal return/stable debut when just denied in 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in May; didn't land a blow but not beaten far in Group 3 Munster Oaks latest (first-time cheekpieces) so not one to dismiss lightly.

Winner of three of her six races for Ralph Beckett; purchased for 300,000gns and posted a cracking effort on seasonal return/stable debut when keeping on well over 1m2f in a big-field premier handicap at the Curragh, denied by a nose; enters Group 3 company for the first time but worthy of consideration with improvement; cheekpieces go on.

Reliable sort who won the first and latest of her four handicaps; wore first-time cheekpieces in the latter at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) 15 days ago when she went on over 1f out to score comfortably; 7lb rise demands more but she could be set for better still in the headgear.

Posted her first triple-digit RPR when landing 1m4f Goodwood handicap (good) on seasonal return; the form of that race was boosted by the runner-up winning a Listed race next time but she couldn't uphold it herself when behind a few of these in Pontefract Listed event four weeks ago, although the way she weakened quickly late on suggests something may not have been right.

8yo who made it eight wins from 48 starts when scoring on reappearance at Windsor (11.4f, good) in May; only third of seven there since (11.4f, good to firm) and may be vulnerable to younger legs today, but she's run well in the last two editions of this race and could do so again.

All seven wins have been on turf and latest was over C&D last June; didn't fire in her final two runs last season but this is a drop back in grade and she won on her seasonal return in 2022 and 2023; needs a close look off dangerous mark.
