2yo Group 2 runner-up last autumn; absent since but interesting nevertheless on comeback

2-time novice winner; this is much tougher but she's just the type her trainer excels with
1 (4)	Golden Lyra Chestnut J:Paul Mulrennan T:William Haggas	J:Paul Mulrennan T:William Haggas	132	—	2181-7	106	117	69	87d	—	—	+7	16.9	1.88/1	15/2 12%

7 (2)	Midnight Mile Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	123	—	114-40	104	114	77	36d	—	—	+7	16	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Well beaten at Royal Ascot but 4th in the Musidora over C&D previously; could bounce back
4 (10)	Queen Of The Skies Chestnut J:Rossa Ryan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	J:Rossa Ryan T:Jane Chapple-Hyam	132	—	860-32	90	106	92	28d	—	—	+6	11.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
In good form in 1m2f handicaps for new yard but has to produce something extra here
3 (5)	Pink Carnation Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Archie Watson	J:Connor Beasley T:Archie Watson	132	b	197-26	102	109	97	65d	—	—	+9	14.4	4.25/1	18 6%
Listed second on soft in May; each-way possibilities if her preferred slow ground prevails
2 (9)	Mukaddamah Bay J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Varian	J:Jim Crowley T:Roger Varian	132	—	455-90	99	111	53	37d	—	—	+9	13.6	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Each-way claims on last season's best efforts but not at the same level this term
9 (6)	Scenic Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Eaves T:Ed Walker	123	—	842-54	90	101	59	47d	—	—	+8	10.6	19.75/1	80 1%
Respectable Listed performances the last twice but needs a sizeable step forward here
