Form & Verdict
Promise on first two starts (good to firm/soft) and she made all on AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in October; should do better at this trip and beyond (holds Oaks and Irish Oaks entries) this term; interesting on her reappearance and handicap debut.

Had an unsuccessful stab at the Oaks before failing to take advantage of a return to Listed company at York; however, front-runners often do well at Salisbury and she never looked like relinquishing her lead there (1m2f, good to firm) latest; has more on her plate now.

Close Listed third at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and that form has worked out extremely well; tailed off in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) next time and behind Regal Charm when fourth of five in Listed race at York (1m2f, good to firm) last time; not written off but has to raise her game.

J: Edward Greatrex

Won two in a row (7f novice then 8.6f handicap) before staying on for close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May in a race that has worked out extremely well; well beaten in the Oaks at Epsom last time but the good to soft ground may not have suited; this 3yo retains potential for her good yard.

Form & Verdict
Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark on her eighth start as a juvenile when landing Nottingham nursery (good, made all) over this trip in October; not disgraced in Listed company next time but weakened over 1m2f (good to soft) on her reappearance one month ago; might do better back at this distance with the run behind her.

Comfortably accounted for Mr Writer in 7f handicap at Lingfield in May; Listed races and a strong Ascot 3yo only handicap proved beyond her on next three starts but back to winning ways when making all in a seven-runner event over C&D (good to firm) five weeks ago; a 5lb rise isn't too severe but it'll likely be harder to pull off similar tactics in this much bigger field.

J: Pat Dobbs

Looked a little flattered when sneaking up the near-side rail to score at Lingfield (good to firm) in May but she more than matched that with very creditable fifth of six in Epsom Listed event (again 7f, good to soft) next time; never threatened in similar event at Carlisle a fortnight ago, however, which tempers confidence on this return to handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Overcame a wide stall when springing 28-1 surprise at Kempton in September and kept unbeaten record when defying a penalty on his return at Southwell (also 1m, AW) five weeks ago; will likely be going up in trip soon enough but brings plenty of potential to this turf/handicap debut.

Record of 3-5 and it was his first time at 1m4f when making all for a convincing win at Epsom a month ago (good); that race couldn't have worked out better for him and he could be pressured this time if going from the front, but he looks progressive; up 6lb.

Won his first two starts (1m novices on AW) but he's yet to kick on in turf handicaps, initially when fourth of six here (8.5f) in April then fifth of ten at Chester (10.5f) the following month; one of his siblings was a dual 1m4f winner for this yard so maybe the new trip will help.

J: Billy Loughnane

Made most to win 1m novices on AW at Kempton in September and Southwell in March; that perfect start was followed by a lesser front-running effort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on turf/handicap debut but he looks bred for 1m2f.

Gelded ahead of his AW debut when readily landing Lingfield maiden (7f) on last month's return; will probably need more on this switch back to turf/handicap debut but it's still early days and he warrants consideration.
