Progressive on AW earlier this year, notching a quick-fire hat-trick at Newcastle (6f) in January. Hard to knock her consistency since, briefly looking like coming all the way through before fading into fifth in 7f handicap here just under a fortnight ago. Looks out of her depth in this.
|
Arrives at the very top of her game, filling the runner-up spot for a second start in succession under Oisin Murphy in listed company at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. One for the shortlist in her current vein of form.
|
Progressed steadily over sprint trips last summer, winning 3 times (including over C&D). However, she'd run as if amiss on her final outing at Naas last year and did so again returning from 8 months off at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) recently. Big leap of faith required.
|
Useful form in Ireland last year and enjoyed a much smoother passage than on yard debut when third in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) a fortnight ago. Stable really starting to hit top gear and certainly worth another crack in listed company.
|
Lightly raced filly who showed big improvement on final outing for Johnny Murtagh in September 2023, winning the Firth of Clyde at Ayr in good style. Progressed again kept to Group 3 company when fifth in Summer Stakes at York 10 months later but hasn't been seen since.
|
Sole success came on all-weather back in 2022 and has been found wanting in listed company in recent starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
|
Smart mare who landed the Wokingham at Royal Ascot last summer before advancing her form when third in Group 1 Sprint Cup over C&D in September. Looked rusty returning from 7 months off at Newmarket just under 3 weeks ago but that should've blown away any cobwebs. Leading claims back here.
|
Runner-up at Wolverhampton first 2 starts in March but looked potentially useful when bolting up back there just under 4 weeks ago. Upped markedly in grade for her first turf start but she very much falls into the 'could be anything' category and gets a handy 9 lb from her elders.
|
Useful form at 2yrs but both efforts this year raise doubt as to whether she will be as good this year, not seen to best effect for the second start in succession when sixth in listed event at Cork (5.5f, good) earlier in the month. Percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes.
|
Debut winner last spring for Ger Lyons and better form in defeat for her new yard this season, fourth of 12 in a listed race that was run to suit at Chelmsford (6f) just over 3 weeks ago. Needs to prove that improved effort was no fluke returned to turf.
|
Confirmed the promise of her debut at the second attempt when winning a maiden at Southwell (6f) in October before showing improved form upped to listed class when runner-up at Deauville the following month. No surprise if she were to progress again as a 3-y-o.

Forecasts
Unequal Love (7/4), Frost At Dawn (9/5), Prime Art (9/1), Maw Lam (12/1), Pure Angel (14/1), Over The Blues (16/1), Rogue Sensation (18/1), Nighteyes (25/1), Proudly Yours (33/1), French Sand (50/1), Brazilian Rose (100/1)
It's hard to get away from UNEQUAL LOVE, who took her form up a notch last year (including a top-level placing over C&D) and William Haggas' mare should strip fitter for her reappearance at Newmarket earlier this month. Frost At Dawn has found just one too strong in this company the last twice and she may have to settle for a third silver medal, with the progressive 3-y-os Rogue Sensation and French Sand taken to fight out minor honours.
