Cheveley Park winner over 6f here last September. Didn't have to reproduce that when scrambling home in Fred Darling at Newbury on return and there have to be stamina doubts now stepping up to 1m.

Won a Sandown listed and French Group 2 over 7f last summer. Perhaps unsuited by heavy ground when no more than a respectable fourth in Marcel Boussac at Longchamp final start. Cheekpieces added.

Naas Group 3 winner last summer who acquitted herself well at the highest level in the autumn, third in Fillies' Mile before second in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Big player.

Runner-up in Queen Mary, Lowther and Flying Childers last term so wasn't gaining a pattern success out of turn when landing Group 3 Nell Gwyn here (7f) on reappearance. 1m not sure to suit her.

Successful over 7f here on both juvenile starts, the latter Group 3 Oh So Sharp. Lost unbeaten record but improved again when chasing home Sacred in Nell Gwyn on reappearance. 1m likely to suit her.

Created good impression making winning debut in big field at the Curragh last autumn. Lacks experience but clearly very highly regarded by yard which has won of 4 of the last 5 runnings of this.

Placed twice at Group 3 level last summer but behind a few of these rivals when seventh in Nell Gwyn on reappearance. 1m ought to suit but still a surprise were she up to the task.

Newbury maiden winner in the mud last autumn. Improved a good deal on that form when just failing to peg back Alcohol Free in Fred Darling on reappearance. May have more to come, particularly at 1m.

Debut winner at the Curragh last July. Wasn't beaten that far into fifth in Group 1 Moyglare on next start and perhaps heavy ground was against her when behind Fev Rover in Marcel Boussac.

Looked good when making a winning start with plenty in hand at Newcastle in November. Did very well from too far back when 2¼ lengths third to Alcohol Free and Statement in Fred Darling on return.

Forecasts

Santa Barbara (5/2), Alcohol Free (5/2), Statement (7/1), Saffron Beach (9/1), Sacred (9/1), Mother Earth (10/1), Thunder Beauty (16/1), Fev Rover (22/1), Vadream (25/1), Lullaby Moon (33/1), Star Of Emaraaty (66/1), Seattle Rock (100/1)

Verdict

MOTHER EARTH has a similar profile to the same yard's Hermosa, who was just shy of the very best at 2 before reappearing to win this in 2019. Santa Barbara, the mount of Ryan Moore, has evidently been giving the right signals at home but is a very short price for what she's achieved on the track and her battle-hardened stablemate looks the value against her. Statement is next best.
