T: George Boughey

3yo who has been highly progressive and has continued the good work on her last two starts, with a 3l handicap second to Silver Lake at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) being followed by a Listed near-miss at Clairefontaine (1m4f, good to soft); there's every chance that she'll be bang there.

After being progressive in handicaps (including on fast ground) she went very close in a C&D Listed race (soft) last month; soundly beaten in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last time, when the trip wasn't an issue, but this 3yo is not ruled out back into a handicap.

Won two handicaps in the spring (7f/1m, AW/good to firm) and was short-headed in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) four weeks ago under Jack Callan (who is again unable to claim his 3lb); she's a 3yo on the up and her dam won at up to 1m4f, but a further chunk of improvement is needed.

The most exposed contender in this field, having been 0-7 for Charles Hills; sold for 5,000gns since last run; best to look elsewhere unless the market speaks favourably.

Just held on to win tactical race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in June and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when clear second to revitalised rival over C&D (good to firm) on Tuesday; commands respect.

Off the mark at the 15th attempt in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month, but didn't match that form off the same mark at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) one week later; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces for last year's winning stable.

Won a Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in February but she left Karl Burke for 6,000gns after a disappointing run in June; comes with risks attached for new yard, but she's been placed in three of her five handicaps and all of those runs were on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (8.6f); not ruled out.

Has proved most consistent on Tapeta and probably ran into one (successful again since) when beaten 7l into second of 13 in an amateurs' event here (8.6f) 12 days ago; ran well over this C&D the time before and likely to run another big race.
