11/2

Won off 1lb lower at Sandown (1m, good to firm) back in May. Found life tough in hot handicaps during the Summer but an ease in grade saw a return to form at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last time. First-time cheekpieces today.

11/4

Well placed to win her first three starts this season, she is closely matched with Salayel for a 2L defeat into sixth at York (7f, good to firm) last time. Still not fully exposed and likely still more to come back at 1m.

Form: 4-1116

7/2

Another good effort when 1¾L ahead of Mubtasimah at York (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Little between the two on that form but needs to prove her stamina for this trip after both attempts ended in defeat.

Form: 9-21324

16/1

Winner at Leicester (7f, good to firm) at two. Returned from a four-month break to finish third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on her most recent effort which was an encouraging performance but this is more competitive.

Form: 8155-63

5/1

Sent off favourite for the Sandringham at the Royal meeting over C&D and ran well to finish seventh, beaten 4L. Struggled in a Listed race next time and although keen, was beaten comfortably by Mubtasimah last time out. Needs to resume her progress.

Form: 21-1762

11/4

Half sister to Group 1 winners Without Parole and Tamarkuz. Improved for her seasonal debut when winning nicely at Newmarket (1m, good) in June on her first try over 1m. A 5lb rise almost certainly underestimates her and there is more to come.

Form: 41-31

Forecasts

She's Got You (11/4), Mubtasimah (11/4), Salayel (7/2), Desirous (5/1), Lush Life (11/2), Lyzbeth (12/1), Canton Queen (16/1)

A really interesting race with a septet of decent fillies where SHE'S GOT YOU is taken to come out on top. She won well last time at Newmarket and with a fantastic pedigree, she still looks well-handicapped. Mubtasimah should appreciate the return to 1m after a good effort at York and may well reverse the form with Salayel over this stiff track.
