2 (10)	Emily Upjohn Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Kieran Shoemark T:John & Thady Gosden	135	h	27-542	117	127	104	33d	—	—	-4	26.1	0.44/1	7/4 36%
Two Group 1 wins; went close in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh most recently; big player
8 (8)	Opera Singer Bay J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	J:Ryan Moore T:A P O'Brien	127	—	211-32	115	122	84	41d	—	—	+1	22.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Solid second in the Coronation Stakes; leading player provided she stays this new trip
10 (5)	Sparkling Plenty Bay J:Cristian Demuro T:P Cottier	J:Cristian Demuro T:P Cottier	127	ht	135611	114	120	100	46d	—	—	+25	36.9	1.75/1	7/1 13%
French filly who came with a strong late surge to land the Prix de Diane; progressing well
7 (1)	Elmalka Bay J:James Doyle T:Roger Varian	J:James Doyle T:Roger Varian	127	—	1-314	113	118	98	41d	—	—	+16	25.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Last-gasp success in the 1,000 Guineas; the Coronation Stakes didn't pan out so well
9 (7)	See The Fire Chestnut J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	127	—	23-054	109	113	75	26d	—	—	+11	16.1	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Has mixed results but she is bred to win a Group 1, being out of an International winner
6 (4)	Stay Alert Bay J:David Egan T:Hughie Morrison	J:David Egan T:Hughie Morrison	135	t	690-15	112	120	92	33d	—	—	+12	16.7	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Behind two of these rivals last time but this return to forecast faster ground is a plus
1 (6)	Doha Bay J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	135	—	41-212	98	108	85	23d	—	—	+10	12.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Return to 1m2f is less of a concern than the steep rise in class; bottom on ratings
4 (9)	Lumiere Rock Chestnut J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	135	p	136-54	109	120	90	33d	—	—	+12	15.8	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Smart on her day but has something to find on 2024 efforts; yet to win Group 1 race
3 (3)	Lady Boba Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	135	—	121-23	105	114	101	26d	—	—	+10	15.1	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Good efforts at Haydock this term; upped further in class but brings progressive RPRs
NR (2)	Novus Bay J:TBC T:Gary & Josh Moore	J: T:Gary & Josh Moore	135	p	1-7205	105	114	83	26d	—	—	—	20.8	—	—
Has a solid record at Goodwood but she's some way below Group 1 standard
