Impressed with her two wins (1m2f, good) from the front in space of seven days recently
1 (10)	Charming Whisper Bay J:Sean Levey T:Philip McBride	J:Sean Levey T:Philip McBride	142	—	950144	74	84	62	27d	—	—	-1	16	1.25/1	5/1 17%
May win; Newmarket races have been a bit too tough for him but they were in a higher class
5 (6)	Dramatic Effect Chestnut J:Hector Crouch T:Eve Johnson Houghton	J:Hector Crouch T:Eve Johnson Houghton	136	h	50-379	68	78	64	39d	—	—	-3	7.6	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Reappearance was clearly best of her three results this term; peak 2024 form reads well

Latest was easily closest finish; gelded since; bred to be vastly better than opening mark
7 (3)	Zarakerjack Bay J:Jack Mitchell T:Tom Clover	J:Jack Mitchell T:Tom Clover	133	—	750132	73	78	57	22d	—	—	+10	20.9	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Pipped by Giselles Defence in a duel at Epsom on latest start; race is more competitive
4 (11)	Double Red Grey J:Trevor Whelan T:Henry Candy	J:Trevor Whelan T:Henry Candy	139	—	83-115	71	78	54	29d	—	—	-2	8.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Two wins in April; headgear was removed ten weeks later and it remains absent today
8 (7)	Political Power Bay J:David Egan T:Charlie Clover	J:David Egan T:Charlie Clover	132	t	279154	72	76	61	16d	—	—	+3	13.4	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Needs to find extra but his tongue-tie is restored and the new trip now looks worth a go
2 (5)	Giselles Defence Bay J:Joe Leavy T:Ian Williams	J:Joe Leavy T:Ian Williams	142	p	332218	74	78	61	13d	—	—	+12	19.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Pipped Zarakerjack at Epsom in July; very solid sequence came to an end nine days later

Good sequence ended last time, but at Chester; upped from 1m and dam won at up to 1m5f
NR (4)	Something Splendid Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Peter Chapple-Hyam	J:Billy Loughnane T:Peter Chapple-Hyam	133	—	-35241	73	79	60	20d	—	—	—	18.9	—	—
Raised 6lb but may have turned a corner with C&D win last time, when the tactics changed
NR (1)	Jester Queen Bay J:Tyler Heard T:D J Jeffreys	J:Tyler Heard T:D J Jeffreys	115	—	-86770	55	66	34	—	—	—	—	1.3	—	—
