Empress Fillies' Stakes (Listed)

Winning form at this trip and on this ground stands up, and a 2l success at Ripon last time out was straightforward enough; the step up in grade is the question now for Beauty Box, and she will need to build on that to feature from stall 2.

Debut third beaten 2½l at Nottingham showed there is ability there, and this trip on a sound surface suits; yet to win and the sharp grade rise makes Californian Angel tough to fancy from stall 7, though the form base gives her a platform to improve.

Debut scorer at Windsor, finding extra to assert by 1½l, and the finish suggested there is more to come; Glorious Game looks useful and the first-time tongue-tie is worth noting, though the step into a higher grade from stall 8 now tests how good she really is.

Landed a novice at Bath by 2½l last time with plenty in hand, and this trip should be within her compass on a surface she handles; Havana Sprite tops our ratings and looks the one to beat, with a step up in grade the only caveat after just three recent outings.

Overwhelmed by the pace and well held in a Listed race at York last time, though that came after a win the previous start; cheekpieces go on for the first time. Margaret's Pearl handles today's trip and ground but sits bottom of our ratings and will need others to underperform from stall 1.
