Comment: Very green in the early stages of her debut at Ascot 19 days ago (6f, good; drifted to 6-1) but she made a mid-race move on the far side of the pack before her effort flattened out (finished 3l and a place behind Mayfair Market); should do better at some stage; hood is replaced by a tongue-tie (trainer has a good record when first fitting one).

Comment: Entries in the Arc/Fillies & Mares on British Champions Day might seem fanciful but she's shown a good level of form so far, going down by just a head on debut at Newmarket then showing improved form in filling the same spot at Haydock (both 1m2f); should benefit from this extra 2f and prove hard to beat; trainer took this last year.

Comment: Made winning handicap debut on second start for this yard in February (off this mark over C&D; 22-1); has looked a hard ride since, most recently when stepped up to 1m3f here seven weeks ago; jury's out for now; drawn widest; has undergone wind surgery; tongue-tie retained.

25/1

Comment: Made a winning yard debut at Southwell in March 2024, appreciating the return to 1m6f and the switch to Tapeta; up just 3lb but has more to prove on first run since, back on Polytrack and upped to 2m.

33/1

Comment: His improved form in 2023 culminated with a C&D win but he's run only three times since and he didn't show enough at Haydock in July, following an absence, to earmark for this race.
