Selected odds by:
Bred to be smart, duly made a winning debut as a 2yo at Thirsk (5f, good), off 13 months after that before making a wining return (had wind surgery). Hammered a promising pair at Newmarket (7f, good), impressive, deserves her chance at this level.
Dual 2yo winner, best performance coming when winning Group 3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good). Ran well after that pushed up further in grade to Group 1 and 2 level, too free in 1000 Guineas on return, drops down to a more suitable level.
Immediate dual winner for this yard after having one run as a 2yo for David O'Meara scoring on the AW in the spring over 6.1f/7f (travelled strongly). Came up short when tried at this level last time over 7f at Newbury, still looked inexperienced.
Won a minor event on her debut at Ripon (6f, good/soft), failed to score again despite some gentle progression when tried in better company. Failed to impress on return in this grade (looked short of fitness/stamina) over 7f at Newbury.
Dual 2yo winner successful on her second/third starts after catching the eye on debut; both wins coming at 6f on turf/AW (looked a useful filly). Comfortably defied her opening mark on AW handicap debut (6f), looks ready for this grade and 7f.
Useful winning 2yo, making all to win her second start at Newmarket (6f, good) before being given some stiff tasks at Listed/Group level. Well held in Listed company here last time over 6f, first try at 7f, looks to have a fair bit to find on balance
Had lots of racing as a 2yo (ran 12 times) winning twice (minor event/7f nursery); ran with credit when pushed into Listed/Group company. Unable to make an impact on return from a stiff mark in an Ascot handicap recently over 1m, vulnerable again.
Could be a smart performer judged on her one run as a 2yo which resulted in a Newmarket win over 7f (good/soft). Gets an immediate rise in grade for her return, looks up to the task based on her debut, open to progress, one to note.
Minor race winner as a 2yo at Carlisle (5.9f, soft) for her former yard before stepping up significantly on that form on 3yo/stable debut here over 6f. Suspicion that she may be flattered by that run; first try at 7f, respected given last effort.
Useful 2yo form (second in Group 2 Rockfel Stakes) despite failing to win a race even at a lesser level. Quickly put things right on seasonal debut when down in grade winning at Newbury (ran well below best form) over 7f, claims on her best form.
Three-time winner at two; best performances coming in Ascot Group 3 and Newmarket sales race on final juvenile start (didn't need to be at best). Too free in 1000 Guineas on return to do herself justice (first time at 1m), yet to show best beyond 6f.
Built on her debut 2yo win over 6f at Newbury when running well upped to Group 2 level at York over same trip (distance at track too sharp for her). Below-par on final 2yo start at Newmarket (7f, Group 3), ran too free, remains with potential.

Forecasts
Althiqa (5/2), Boomer (7/2), Under The Stars (11/2), Jovial (13/2), Stylistique (15/2), Spring Of Love (12/1), Wejdan (14/1), Afraid Of Nothing (20/1), Stormy Girl (33/1), Dancing Feet (33/1), Between Hills (50/1), Separate (66/1), Final Option (66/1), Nina Bailarina (125/1)
Plenty of promising fillies on display in this Listed event with two who disappointed in the 1000 Guineas Boomer and Under The Stars both dropping down to an easier level after running too free in the first fillies Classic. Despite the ease in grade they run into some decent opposition not least ALTHIQA who created a good impression when beating three rivals at Newmarket and looking a smart sort in doing so. Her stablemate Spring Of Love should also be respected although she hasn’t had a race this year. Up in grade and trip Jovial can’t be left out of the picture as she looks to continue her progress whilst Wejdan from last year’s winning yard and Stylistique deserve consideration.
