Prolific mare who was successful in this race in 2021 (off 5lb lower); more miss than hit in 2023 but her Group 3 third at York in July was up there with her best efforts; usually wears cheekpieces but blinkers are now tried; no surprise to see her go well as Michael Dods bids to win this race for the third season in a row.

Respectable form here in May, winning over 5f (off 1lb higher) then runner-up over 6f; substandard efforts in last three races but the return to Windsor may have positive effect.

Won at Windsor (5f, soft) in May and ran well in defeat the next twice (6f, good to firm); however, her form has taken a downturn the last twice and she needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up twice in May (good to soft/soft) but she's operated below that level since; given a short break since her sixth at Windsor at the beginning of August; any rain in her favour (all three wins on softer than good).

Form & Verdict

Largely consistent filly who knocked on the door during the summer; latest Windsor run wasn't one of her best but she's been given a bit of time since and isn't the type to stay down for long.

Form & Verdict

Mostly in fine form this term, finishing runner-up for the third start in succession when going down by half a length at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, with reopposing stablemate Silent Flame a neck back in third; also has form on softer ground; should give her usual good account.

Form & Verdict

Placed in all three starts at Wolverhampton when trained by Marcus Tregoning and made a successful stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month (made all); not disgraced when fourth on 7f Thirsk turf debut (good) 12 days ago but she will need a bit more here; raced only at 7f so far.

Completed a hat-trick on AW last winter and is now 1lb below her last winning mark; back near her best when third at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, which puts her back into calculations even though this track (three appearances) is not one of those at which she has met with success.

Completed a hat-trick on AW last winter with the final leg coming over C&D off a 1lb higher mark; yet to fire in her two runs back from a summer break but this is effectively a drop in class and she might be ridden more prominently today from the inside stall.
