6/5
Won 7-runner maiden at Cork (1m, good to soft) last autumn. Improved when 3¼ lengths third in 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 on reappearance 6 weeks ago and should be more to come now stepping up in trip again. Leading claims.

Useful at 2, culminating with 5¾ lengths third of 8 to Commissioning in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, good) in October. Up 4f in trip for reappearance. Thereabouts on form.

Modest form in her 2 starts 7 months apart and surely out of her depth here.

Promising individual. 6/5, won 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1¼m) 77 days ago, well on top finish. Definitely more to come and the choice of William Buick of the yard's pair.

Won first 2 starts as a juvenile but had her limitations exposed in pattern company in the second half of the season. Stamina in her pedigree provides hope for this longer trip suiting but she'll need to improve to play a prominent role.

AW handicap winner over this trip last month but beaten under a penalty the following week and has lots to find now stepping up significantly in class.

Hasn't shown anywhere near enough in her 2 starts to suggest she can mix it in this company but perhaps very testing ground was against her at Newbury last time and she can't be completely dismissed given who trains her.

Fairly useful form at 2, winning an AW novice before 4½ lengths third of 8 to Polly Pott in May Hill Stakes at Doncaster (1m) on final start. Bred to be suited by middle distances this year.

17/2
Ended 2022 with a 1m course novice win in December and advanced her form again with 1¼m Windsor handicap/turf debut success on her reappearance 19 days ago. Likely to stay 1½m. Buick on Eternal Hope this time but it's still highly likely she has more to offer.

Forecasts

Be Happy (6/5), Eternal Hope (9/4), Sunset Point (17/2), Bright Diamond (9/1), Perfect Prophet (10/1), Ferrari Queen (16/1), Ghara (40/1), Climate Friendly (66/1), Fox Flame (80/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has already mopped up one Oaks trial this week and looks good for another courtesy of BE HAPPY. The main threat may come from Charlie Appleby pair Eternal Hope, the mount of William Buick, and Sunset Point.
