Won at Newbury (1m, soft) on sole 2yo start and beaten about 3l in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) on return; 22-1, stuck to her task well for a never-dangerous, 10l fourth of nine in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) 11 weeks ago; off since but could have more improvement in her and 1m4f on rain-softened ground would seemingly hold no fears.

She has an attractive German pedigree and was bought for 550,000gns as a yearling; won at Newbury (1m, soft) last October on sole 2yo start and beaten about 3l by Amelia Earhart when third in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) on last month's reappearance; she still looked a work in progress last time (slowly away and outpaced turning for home) and could have lots more to offer; slow ground might aid her cause; interesting.

Has improved with each run this year, winning maiden at Ripon (1m3f, good) and handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm; dug deep to see off main challenger by a neck), both in small fields; this is a sterner assignment but she's still unexposed and in good hands.

Thrice-raced filly and Irish Oaks entry whose form includes a promising effort behind a useful stablemate on debut; very easily justified favouritism at Ripon (1m3f, good) most recently; likely to build on that win and show further improvement; respected.

Caught too far back in a race dominated by prominent racers when her winning run was ended at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month and that defeat almost certainly shouldn't be taken to suggest that the handicapper has caught up with a filly who holds a Group 1 entry next month; showed promise on her soft-ground debut last autumn; leading claims.

Stable has captured two of the last four renewals, and this filly is on a roll after completing a hat-trick over C&D a month ago; that was by the skin of her teeth but the second was an improver and the pair were clear; she probably won that day in spite of the steady gallop; strong contender under Saffie Osborne.
