Form & Verdict
Readily won back to back last July (made all) and went down by a head in October (all 1m2f on turf); much more like it when tackling 1m4f for the first time at Salisbury 13 days ago, finding just an Andrew Balding 3yo too strong; will need to settle better if she's to see this trip out best.

Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred.

Low-mileage filly who lost out only by a short head here (1m4f) on latest outing four weeks ago; could still have untapped potential on Polytrack and this drop back in trip won't be a problem; must be considered.

Campaigned mostly on AW this season; has failed to repeat the form of her July success; has done most of her winning on turf but is well exposed, unlike some of today's rivals; the oldest contender.

Runner-up sole start at two; much her best effort when stepped up to 1m4f here a fortnight ago (again found just one too good); potential improver now handicapping and William Buick, who is 22% for the yard in the last five years, is a positive booking.

Five-race maiden but she was runner-up here on her debut last year and in a novice at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; latest effort on her handicap debut is worth forgiving having raced wide after her blindfold was removed late, and she should still have more to offer.

Promising second on her debut at Yarmouth last October and reappeared with an 8l fifth of ten at Sandown (1m2f, good) in a race won by the subsequent Musidora runner-up; ran to a similar level when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, soft) in May when last seen and leaves the impression this longer trip will suit.
