Top 6f 2yo, completing a notable hat-trick with wins in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, Group 2 at Newmarket (July) and Group 1 at Deauville (all good/good to firm); seemed fine at 7f (ran on after meeting trouble) when third in the Moyglare at the Curragh (yielding) on her final start but shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m for 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance; remains open to progress back at 6f; leading claims.

Absent since finishing third to Precise in the Moyglare Stud Stakes when upped to 7f at the Curragh, losing her unbeaten record but far from disgraced and sticking on in a manner that suggests she'll stay 1m this year; 4-4 previously and completed a notable 6f hat-trick with wins in Group 3 at Royal Ascot, Group 2 at Newmarket (July) and Group 1 at Deauville; may well rate higher still and add to an already impressive tally; pleased her trainer in a racecourse gallop last month; highly respected.

A revelation since a debut success at Carlisle, climbing the Pattern level at a rapid rate; landed the Group 3 Albany Stakes and the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (beating the subsequent Lowther winner Royal Fixation); gamely resisted the Coventry winner Gstaad in the Prix Morny; tough and talented, hard to be sure she will stay 7f at this stage.

Starman filly who cost 240,000gns as a yearling and is very highly regarded by her connections; two from two, having beaten the solid Argentine Tango at Carlisle (5f) and then enhanced her reputation in the Albany at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); trainer's only other Albany winner followed up in this race; much respected.

240,000gns yearling purchase; by Starman; represents notable connections; justified favouritism in Carlisle contest (5f, good to firm; ridden out) and the form looks solid; should progress upped to 6f; respected.
