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.

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.

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.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last October on third start and followed up on handicap/seasonal debut here (8.5f, good) in April; kept on strongly for 1l third in Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; she has plenty to find on form but the step up in trip could prompt further improvement and she might not be a forlorn hope each-way.

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.

Won Epsom maiden in nine-race juvenile campaign and she was back on the scoresheet when taking Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good) in May; hasn't matched that since and has stamina to prove on this second crack at 1m4f.

Second off this mark to a useful prospect last time and that was better, having run Flat at Chester and then over-raced and not seen out 1m4f at York; had plenty of racing this last year and this, however, and remains vulnerable to improvers.

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.

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.

She's had plenty of racing but has shown improvement on her last two runs, easily winning Class 4 handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) before fifth of sixth to Ellusive Butterfly (who is now penalised) in Epsom Listed race (7f, good to soft), beaten about 4l; on the up and has each-way claims.

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.
