22-1 winner of the Group 3 Valiant Stakes at Ascot (1m, good) last July and good fourth in US Grade 3 (1m, firm) next time; of interest on that form but tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on reappearance at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) three weeks ago; unraced on slow ground.

SR 94 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Impressive win on debut at Newbury (7f, good) last April; 0-4 since (including in two Listed races) and has something to find in today's company, but this lightly raced half-sister to connections' Group 2 winner Sacred is in top hands and may be able to take a sizeable step forward at some point.

Made it 2-4 when scoring easily on this month's handicap and seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm; unraced on slow ground); had just three rivals to beat and takes a steep rise in grade today, but this half-sister to her stable's Group 1 winner Dreamloper could have plenty more to offer.

She's won five of her six starts, the latest victory coming in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) in October 2024; absent since and she needs to prove she retains her ability, but she probably won't need to be at her very best to come out on top in this line-up.

Made it 3-4 in handicaps when winning on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh (1m1f, good); up in trip/grade today but she powered ahead once in the clear last time and it's hard to identify where the ceiling of her ability lies; has won on good to soft (unraced on softer); dam was two-time 1m4f Listed winner; interesting contender.

0-7 since winning on 2yo debut in October 2024 but she finished close-up in a few Listed/Group 3 races last season (1m2f-1m4f, various ground) and she might be the type to improve with age; not ruled out on reappearance.

Listed winner at York (1m2f, good) last July and runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good to yielding) in August; down the field on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on both starts since, most recently her reappearance but that may not be her track; could bounce back with a bold show in first-time cheekpieces; unraced on ground slower than good to soft.

Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on last month's reappearance at Cork, which is disconcerting, but she's a leading player if leaving that performance behind in first-time cheekpieces.
