A standing dish in Group races over 6f but had long given the impression that 7f might suit and she duly saw that trip out well to take the Group 3 Oak Tree at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; could be even better on softer); the close proximity of the third/fourth horses would suggest that a repeat performance won't get the job done here, but she's a likeable mare who should give her running, especially with form figures of 121 on her last three visits to York; respected.

Classy 6f performer who has been placed in Group 1s at that trip and she won a Group 3 at York (6f, good to firm) this month, for which she carries a 3lb penalty today; untested at 7f but she frequently finishes her races strongly, as was the case when fourth in the 2024 Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville over 6.5f; leading contender if staying the trip.

Third to Beautiful Diamond over 5.5f here (soft) in September on her final run for Mark Usher; low-key start for Ralph Beckett but she bounced back to form at York (6f, good) eight days ago, blowing the start but making a big mid-race move before weakening into fourth close home; shaped like the best horse in that race and perhaps has a stronger chance than her rating might indicate.
