Caught the eye making late headway at Windsor two starts back, and appreciated easier ground when beating Elsaabiqaat in a Ffos Las nursery latest. 8lb rise demands more, but she's clearly going the right way now.
Runner-up at Chelmsford in May, and got back to that form when 3L fourth of 14 to Don Armado in 6f nursery at Goodwood last time. Better than bare result there (slowly away and met trouble), and may do better still.
Half-sister to connections' useful 6f-7½f winner Black Bess. Bets effort in qualifying runs when third of 6 to No Way Jose at Lingfield last time, having the run of the race. Opening mark demands improvement.
Twice placed before winning at Catterick in June, and got back on track when tongue-tied for nursery debut over C&D last time, faring best of those to race close to the pace.
Has shown ability on all three starts, but too keen to get on with things when beaten 3½L by Sir Victor at Chepstow last time. Winner has landed a decent nursery since to add some gloss to that form.
Didn't need to improve to take a small field affair on rattling quick ground at Bath (5f) in July, and made favourite for nursery at Nottingham (6f) last time, but disappointed. May benefit from return to this trip.
Improved on earliuer efforts despite doing too much in front when fourth in a C&D nursery on penultimate start (Li Kui third), and built on that when winning at Brighton last time. Has been handed a tough-looking draw, however.
Finished a good second over 5½f at Bath (firm) on debut in May, and matched that form when third at Lingfield last time, coming from off the pace both times. Will do better, but opening mark is stiff.
Yet to be placed, but she's been keeping fairly good company to date, and ran creditably when 3¼L tenth of 17 to Feel Glorious in a 6f maiden at Goodwood last time. Type to do better in handicaps.
Unplaced in a pair of Windsor maidens and while there was promise in each of those runs, he took a backward step at Goodwood last time. Hooded for first attempt in handicaps, and drawn awkwardly.
Matched the pick of her earlier efforts when 2¼L second of 7 to Across The Sea in a 5f nursery at Ffos Las last time. Needs to pull out a little more on that evidence.
Showed ability on debut, and back to that form when 5½L fourth of 7 to Swiss Air in a 5f novice at Lingfield (good/firm) last time. Not harshly handicapped, and should do better.

SWISS PRIDE needs to avoid the slow start which cost him at Goodwood last time, but he went like a well-treated horse there, and is likely to be suited by a stiff 5f. Across The Sea is progressing, and will make a bold bid to follow up his Ffos Las win, while Time For Bed has been keeping better company in novices/maidens, and looks the type to do better now handicapping from a good draw.
