Bit disappointing at the Curragh in a group 2 last time having previously been beaten just a head in a group 1 by Mqse De Sevigne.

Conditions won't be an issue but she isn't the easiest to trust now.

Big player though at the prices if back to her best.

Won the Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot in June before finishing last in the group 1 Falmouth a month later.

Hasn't been seen since and needs to bounce back now.

Shouldn't mind the softer conditions.

This another huge step up in class however and she needs to improve.

Only made her debut in May and she has been kept busy since winning three of her six starts.

Latest of those wins coming in a group 2 at Leopardstown 21 days ago.

Didn't have the clearest of runs on her only other try in group 1 company in the Irish Oaks and she is a player with more to come.

Won the French Oaks in June before finishing 3rd in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Not quite at her best in the Prix Vermeille last time where she was 6th but she could easily bounce back.

Big player.

Won a group 3 on her latest start but she hasn't been seen for 70 days since.

However needs to take her form to a new level if she is to be involved here.

Group 1 winner last season as a 2yo and she made a decent return this season when 5th in the 1000 Guineas.

Bit disappointing afterwards but she was a fine 4th in a group 1 behind Porta Fortuna last time out.

Step up to 10f will be no issue and she has some of the best form in this race.

Won three on the bounce up to listed level before only finding the very talented Ombudsman too good in a group 3 last time out.

Only had the five starts and open to any amount of improvement.

She is certainly not ruled out at huge each way odds.

Very smart filly who has won 4 of her 5 starts so far with her only disappointment coming in the Musidora at York.

Has since bounced back from that winning a group 3 and a group 2 and well worth her place in this lineup.

Needs to take her form to a new level but that's entirely possible and she can't be ruled out.

Disappointing in the English 1000 Guineas where she was sent off favourite but she bounced back to win the Irish equivalent in fine style.

Ran another fine race when 2nd behind Porta Fortuna in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown last time out.

Steps up to 10f for the first time here and if she sees it out she has to be a major player.

Has been a revelation since stepping up to 10 and 12 furlongs on her last three starts.

Slightly unlucky not to win the Irish Oaks two starts ago before doing everything wrong in the Yorkshire equivalent and still winning.

Drop back to 10f will really suit and she is a big player despite Ryan Moore looking elsewhere.
