Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' and Mares' Group 2)

Smart filly who acquitted herself well in good company last term, ending campaign with close second of 14 in Fillies' & Mares' Stakes at Ascot (11.6f, good to soft, 6/1) in October. Went well first time up last season and a bold bid is anticipated.

Reached the frame in 1000 Guineas and Oaks on her first 2 outings last year and ran right up to her best when beaten only 2¾ lengths into fifth in the Nassau at Goodwood in August. Below that level both starts since, however, and looks up against it here.

Very smart mare who won this contest last year and produced a personal best when close second in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks here in August. Not quite in same form thereafter but has a fine record fresh and holds strong claims.

Confirmed promise of sole 2-y-o start when bolting up in Newmarket maiden on return in May and improved on that when placed in better company on final 2 outings, latterly when third of 14 to Sapphire Seas in Yarmouth listed race (10.1f) in September. In good hands and remains with potential.

Went from strength to strength last term, completing 4-timer when readily landing 14-runner listed race at Yarmouth (10.1f) in September. Posted solid second in Meydan Group 2 on return in February and must enter calculations here.
