Turf wins at 7f and latest success was over 6f on AW in April; has rarely tackled 1m and she was highly tried over this trip in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June but she did look to stay an extended 1m at Nottingham in 2025 for previous yard; has possibilities.

All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights.

Both wins at 5f but ended last year with narrow defeats over 6f at Yarmouth and Newmarket; off 193 days but she ran very well on reappearance last season; held in one AW start (Tapeta) but she's still a major player.

Best form for Andrew Balding came on turf, including wins at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and Epsom (7f, good to soft) last year; makes stable debut after 190 days off having changed hands for 50,000gns in October; market informative.

Made all last term in a maiden at Brighton (good to firm) and a handicap over C&D (good to soft), the latter in September on final run for Andrew Balding; back over C&D on last two outings and not disgraced when sixth of ten on latest (co-favourite); case can be made back on last winning mark.

Made all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; failed to build on AW reappearance for new yard when only eighth of 16 over C&D but it was a competitive 0-100 at the Derby meeting and she should find life easier at this level.

Beat her five rivals to make all over C&D (good to soft) last September on final run for Andrew Balding; didn't run badly on stable/seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in April and could improve for that run; this race is more competitive than she's used to but she's not ruled out each-way.
