Unplaced all five outings, although not beaten far at Wolverhampton on third run last term; needs to build on seventh of 12 at Haydock (7f) on return, and today's drop back in distance may help.

Not obviously well handicapped on the form she showed in four maiden/novice events over 6f/7f last year, so will need to return from a five-month break with an improved effort.

Third of six at Doncaster (7f, soft) last October on sole 2yo start and again showed promise when fourth of seven at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in April; returns from some more time off with improvement needed but she has a top-class pedigree and remains one to be interested in.

Improved effort when breaking her maiden tag at the fifth attempt on 1m2f Newmarket handicap debut (good to firm) in August; further progress when going down only to another improving filly at Haydock (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago and a further 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid from a filly who is going the right way.

Generally progressive 3yo who has won three of her last five starts including a comfortable success over C&D (7-4 joint-favourite) 19 days ago; 4lb higher here but she still looks on a workable mark and could continue on the upgrade; major player.

Novice winner at two; always doing enough for a successful handicap debut at Salisbury and then denied late on at Ascot (again at 1m on good to firm), where she dictated a steady pace; had no excuses that day but this longer trip should help, as she's out of a 1m4f winner.

Won 1m York Listed race on reappearance in May and it was just her third race when never-nearer sixth of 11 in the 10.5f Group 1 Prix de Diane (French Oaks) at Chantilly in June; not seen again for three months but staying-on second in Group 2 at the Curragh (1m2f, good) was her best yet; hung right on those last two starts but 1m4f seems to promise better still.

Lightly raced 3yo won Doncaster maiden (soft) on sole start at two; followed up on seasonal return in York Listed in May over a mile although still green; following month not the pace to challenge on quick ground over this trip when beaten nearly 5l in Group 1 Prix de Diane, but worth this second try at 1m2f on easier ground.

7-2, set a steady pace when making all on debut at Doncaster (7f, soft) last October; prevailed by just a neck and is bottom of this pack on RPRs but she's a half-sister to a 7f/1m Listed winner for connections, and her dam was a US 9.5f/1m2f Grade 1 winner; she could have lots more to offer.
