Form & Verdict
All three starts as 2yo were on soft, winning a Sandown novice but far better form (the best in this field) when about 2l fourth of eight in 1m Group 1 Marcel Boussac at Longchamp, keeping on well while never able to threaten seriously; fair chance she'll stay 1m2f, judged on that, but she didn't show it when a never-dangerous fourth of six in Newmarket Listed race (good to firm; just over 1l behind Sacred Ground) 13 days ago; hopefully she'll have come on significantly from that run.

All three starts as 2yo were on soft; green in front in 7f novice win at Sandown against a notable rival; about 2l fourth of eight when an outsider for 1m Group 1 Marcel Boussac at Longchamp, keeping on well while never able to threaten seriously the lead; fair chance she'll stay 1m2f, judged on that, even if pedigree (sire sprinter) casts doubts on her Oaks entry; clear top on form.

It was a valuable C&D maiden (soft) for fillies in which she was beaten 2l into second behind a favourite who had shown plenty on her Newmarket debut; stable's juveniles usually improve lots for their first run so this Starman half-sister to five winners should be hard to beat.

Kingman filly who has shown consistent form in 1m2f events this season, while giving the impression this return to 1m may prove ideal; showed her 2yo promise over this trip, winning on debut and good second next time; solid chance, assuming she takes well to first-time headgear.

Probably acts on good to soft; won debut and runner-up in Listed events on all three starts since; this season's were over 1m2f at Newmarket (good to firm) and Newbury (good) and the latest form makes her one of the top two in this field on ratings; should be bang there again.

Newmarket maiden winner on her sole start last term for whom there were high hopes this year; proved underwhelming when favourite for an Oaks trial at Newbury on her reappearance and was tried in blinkers when tailed off in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot; now tries cheekpieces on her handicap debut and it's too soon to write her off.

Shaped well in both starts as a 2yo, including when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in October; found Listed race too much at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance and did too much too soon when second of three in a novice at Nottingham (8.5f, soft) three weeks ago; wore hood and cheekpieces last time, with the latter now removed; the one to beat now dropped back in trip.
