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.

Esna

J: Mickael Barzalona

Stepped up on reappearance form when winning Listed event over 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; can probably be forgiven her subsequent effort in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly after pressing the pace out wide; drops back to 1m now; even a return to her best probably won't be enough, though.

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.

Form & Verdict
575,000gns foal who's a half-sister to four winners, notably Ambition (1m2f-1m4f, including French Group 2), out of the yard's Oaks winner Talent; followed debut promise by justifying 5-6 favouritism in seven-runner maiden at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) in October; this grade should be a very different proposition for her but it's the same for most of this field.

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.

Form & Verdict
Useful pedigree and fair form when never dangerous at Doncaster (7f, good) in September on debut; not so good when front-running at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) six weeks later, hanging markedly left; likely to stay but she needs to leave both pieces of form well behind her.

Trainer, who boasts a good record with 3yos here down the seasons, won this 12 months ago; this filly is the pick on form but another expensive defeat last time leaves her with something to prove and she'll need to settle better than has often been the case, back up in trip minus the hood.

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.
