6	Looked right out of the top drawer when winning this year's Oaks at Epsom. Found to be coughing following her subsequent 2½-length fourth in Pretty Polly Stakes here. Has been given time to get over that, and she remains the one to beat. 1st Pick 6 Thundering On Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: Ryan Moore T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	100	-	-	-	80%	1/4

10	Enhanced a fine strike rate with a much-improved success in the German 1000 Guineas in May. Advanced her form in defeat in Group 1 company in Germany/France since, beaten 2 lengths at Deauville (1¼m) latest. Going the right way and expected to give another good account. 2nd Pick 10 Timeforshowcasing Jockey: Jack Mitchell Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Jack Mitchell T: Charlie Johnston	96	-	-	-	8%	13/1

1	Smart Group 3 winner over 9f here last summer. Right at the top of her game when runner-up in Group 2 Middleton/third in Pretty Polly over C&D this season. Possibly didn't take to cheekpieces in a Group 1 at Deauville latest and may well fare better with a tongue strap fitted here. 3rd Pick 1 Red Letter Jockey: C. T. Keane Trainer: G. M.
