Progressive 4yo who won her first two starts on the AW; couldn't hang on to her early lead on turf/handicap debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm) but she was a different proposition at Sandown last month when powering away (good) and looks a Listed filly in the making.

Has won Group 3/2 races in Britain and at Meydan; third in this race in 2018 on only course start; back in peak form this autumn and came from off the pace to take second behind an unexposed one at Newbury recently (7f, good to soft; Al Suhail under 1l behind in third); solid to go well. |

Listed winner at 1m last July (good to soft); had disappointed over C&D when having a rare 7f run in August but was suited by the strong pace when breaking the course record over the trip at Haydock since (good to firm; favourable terms); should be one of the major players.

Back to his best at Meydan early this year, winning twice over 7f, including a Group 2; has possibilities on that form but he was only sixth of 16 in a 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot last time and had no obvious excuses when fifth of nine behind Kinross in this race last year. |

Two impressive 7f handicap wins last summer (good/soft) including over C&D, and another step forward when winning a top 7f handicap at Ascot in May; no further progress in a Group 3 later that month and off since but he still appeals as one who could yet do better.

Big improver over 7f in 2020, notably on heavy ground on final three starts and ending with an emphatic Group 3 success at Naas; not yet recaptured that form in two runs this year, however, and it's looking as though she needs testing conditions.

9st 0lb |
Talented filly when getting the testing conditions that suit, as for her Group 3 win against her own sex at Naas last November (7f, heavy) and when extricating herself from a tight corner at Ascot last week (7f, soft); in top form but has more to prove on quicker surfaces. |

2nd Oct 2021 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Record of 1121 on heavy ground, including a 5l success at Naas (7f Group 3) which gives her an excellent chance on these terms; good second in this race last year when it was held at Goodwood; below best in 2021 but latest effort (7f, good to soft) was a step back in the right direction; interesting provided there is plenty of give underfoot. |

Looked likely to pick up a nice prize but has had a mixed season in among two excellent efforts, a close third in a valuable 1m handicap here (good) and a second on tough terms in a 7f Listed race at Chester (good to soft); no real impact at Ascot since and hard to rely on a return to form.

Had Listed and Group form at two but was well held in this race last year and was threatening to become frustrating in handicaps before 7f conditions stakes win at Thirsk last month (soft; effective on good); perhaps that will now lead on to better things but others still have less to prove.

Best 2yo form when dividing smart rivals in a Group 2 (7f, good) but well held in a Group 1 on final start; not seen again until reappearing over 6f at Salisbury last month where he had a weights advantage but was edged out late; gives impression that this straightforward track will suit better and remains of interest back at 7f.

Missed a chunk of his career but has shown what a high-quality sprinter he is when sharing a major 6f handicap at York in August and later finishing a close fourth of 24 in the Ayr Gold Cup in September; not for the first time he subsided on testing ground last month but of interest now switched to the AW (dam and two of her siblings won on Polytrack). |

Missed 2022; first signs of retaining ability with his eyecatching finish in the Wokingham; excuses on next two starts before producing a strong finish to dead-heat with Summerghand at the Ebor meeting last month (6f, good to firm); finished behind his old rival in Ireland 13 days ago when running creditably without threatening; 3lb wrong under his penalty but this test could suit him well; shortlisted. |

Creditable fifth over C&D (soft) in the Jersey Stakes and runner-up in the competitive Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) next time; enjoyed no luck in recent Listed race at Newbury and this 3yo may have more to offer for his top yard, but he does need to go to the next level today. |

Suited by good ground; lightly raced 3yo who didn't find much on return to 7f at the Curragh in July (favourite) but he is tongue tied today and an earlier second to a top-class rival in a Listed race at Leopardstown, when coming home powerfully, offers encouragement for this.
