Back-to-back successes in this corresponding event the last 2 years, getting up late having been somewhat isolated on the outer wing most recently. However, she ended 2023 with a bit of a whimper and it's a shade disconcerting she hasn't been seen since. First-time tongue tie applied.

4/1
Dark Angel filly who returned with a 5.5f win in Listed event at Chantilly in March. Belatedly back on track having been eased 3 lb since Royal Ascot when second of 16 at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Stacks to like.

Progressed again when winning 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) on return but lost her unbeaten record on the AW at Kempton in April, never involved after a slow start. Below form at Newmarket when last seen in May and yet to confirm that turf suits her as well as AW. Has had a wind op.

Returned to top form following reappearance when scoring at Haydock in June and placed all 3 subsequent starts, going down by a nose at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago, sure to have prevailed in another stride or so. Up 5 lb for that near miss but fancied to feature.

Consistent mare who completed a hat-trick on AW last winter. Also scored at Newcastle in March and produced a career-best when winning at Newmarket in May. Rare poor effort when last of 13 at Ascot (5f, good) last month but she can quickly bounce back.

All the better for her debut when scoring at Carlisle last summer and has taken her form up a notch this season, doubling her tally in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) just over 5 weeks ago, quickening up to excellent effect on all-weather debut. May do better still so shortlisted.

13/2
Likeable filly who gained her fourth win of the campaign in hard-fought style at Newmarket last time, doing well to see off a pair of progressive 3-y-os. Others have more handicapping scope, but she'll likely give her running as usual back down at the minimum trip.

Displayed a good attitude in first-time cheekpieces when adding to her sole previous success at Windsor in May. Creditable efforts on next 2 outings and shaped as if still in good form when eighth of 11 at Goodwood (6f) recently, albeit finding less than looked likely. Return to 5f should suit.

14/1
Progressive last summer and notched a third career success when striking late at Doncaster (5f) early last month, showing a good attitude to edge ahead close home. Found out in a deeper race at Haydock (5f, firm) since and this is even tougher.

Made a winning return after 8 months off at Thirsk in June and having disappointed next time, got back on the up with a career-best effort when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) just over 4 weeks ago, making most. This is a big step up, but she's certainly progressive.

Opened her account on handicap debut at Salisbury in May and took her form up a level when going in again at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) earlier this month. This is a much tougher assignment, but she's still relatively lightly raced and there may be a bit more to come.

Off the mark second time up last summer but having failed to go on from that subsequently, stopped the slide by suddenly producing a career best when second of 8 at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 8 days ago. First-time visor applied and that could eke out that bit more.

Produced a career best to follow up from her Ascot win a fortnight earlier when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. This is significantly harder, but there's every chance she can defy a career-high mark to complete the hat-trick in her current mood.

Already hit the target 3 times this year, her most recent win coming at Newbury (5.2f, good) last month. Not in the same form on all 3 subsequent starts so she looks up against it, especially in this company.

Forecasts

Got To Love A Grey (4/1), Gutsy Girl (9/2), Star Of Lady M (13/2), Profitable Edge (10/1), Miss Attitude (10/1), Midnight Affair (11/1), Enchanting (12/1), Jumbeau (14/1), Harvanna (14/1), Designer (14/1), Azure Angel (18/1), Pepsi Cat (20/1), Boadicia (20/1), Alcazan (22/1), Hurt You Never (33/1)

Verdict

A valuable race of its type with plenty in with chances but preference is for GOT TO LOVE A GREY, who hadn't gone on since winning a listed race in France on reappearance but belatedly did so when runner-up at Goodwood just under 3 weeks ago. The third that day has won since, so Karl Burke's filly can get the better of Gutsy Girl, who won well on all-weather debut at Kempton last month and is capable of better still. Alcazan, Miss Attitude and Midnight Affair round off the shortlist.
