Most recently seen over longer trips than this, Technique spent most of last season over 10 to 12 furlongs.
She often found herself collared late over 10 furlongs last season. Her stamina just gave way late in the day leaving the door open for a rival to pick her off at the post.
She shaped smartly on seasonal reappearance at Nottingham recently when coming a very narrow 2nd to Noon Star in a listed race.
Dropping in trip could just bring out some improvement and she ran well last time out.
Kevin Ryan’s 4 year old Statement took three attempts to break her maiden but she coped with deep ground well to win over 6.5 furlongs.
She finished her 3 year old campaign without a win which came as a surprise after a promising opening run in the Fred Darling Stakes behind Alcohol Free. Only going down by a head to the eventual group 1 winner.
She struggled in listed and group company there after over a mile and 7 furlongs. A switch of yards sees her make her seasonal debut and yard debut here. The trainer change needs to have made a big impact for her to get involved here.

Only seen once as a 2 year old, Miss Marble ran with promise to be a good 2nd at a big price on debut.
Not seen for over 300 days after that, she scored a novice race for fillies over a mile nicely. She managed to back that up well under a penalty next time out to justify a skinny price tag but struggled when moved up in class after that.
Unable to lie up in listed company and well beaten in a handicap over 10 furlongs, she returned to action this year with a taking handicap win off of a mark of 91.
This is a big step up in grade however, she’s got a good deal to prove in a group 3 contest.
Last seen getting the better of Bashkirova to gain listed honours at Goodwood, that marked a serious upturn in form for this daughter of Kingman.
Unable to win in novice events over a mile and a half and 10 furlongs, dropping to a mile last season unlocked some progress for Mrs Fitzherbert and she handily won a couple of handicaps at low level.
She rounded out last season with a good outing over a mile in listed company but took a serious step forward this year. Her price should be closer to that of Bashkirova.
Winning her sole outing as a 2 year old smartly, Potapova backed that up in emphatic style when demolishing a field over 7 furlongs in a novice event.
Aimed high after that she struggled to transfer her form up to group company, despite a decent effort over a mile at Sandown.
Her comeback run this season was nearly perfect but she was denied a head by Roman Mist on the all weather at Kempton in a listed race over a mile. She’ll come on bundles for that run but will be hoping for a quick surface here.

Interlocking form with Potapova, Roman Mist just got the better of that rival on the all weather at Kempton last time out to score a listed race over a mile.
Graduating from low level handicaps last season, Tom Ward’s charge tried her hand at listed races last year but was left wanting for a little bit of quality to get truly involved.
She went close in handicap company on her seasonal comeback at Kempton and built upon that to score listed honours last time out.
Maybe a touch overpriced and a good each way angle.

This 3 year old ran 18 times last season. Her juvenile campaign was spent being beaten in novice events and seller races until she finally scored in a class 6 handicap over 6 furlongs.
She moved up slightly in class and scored another handicap before her form tailed off again. Not tasting success for another few runs until bagging a claiming race over 7 furlongs.
She did round out the season with a decent outing in listed company over a mile. Coming 2nd at a massive 80/1 behind Kawida.
As a 3 year old she’s had some lofty targets. Beaten in the Fred Darling Stakes, she was the last home in the 1000 Guineas and was last seen well beaten in the Lingfield Oaks Trial.
She looks well out of her depth again here.
Trained by Hilal Kobeissi, Rolling the Dice put in a couple of lacklustre efforts in her first two runs in maiden company but managed to get off the mark at the third time of trying over 7 furlongs in a decent display.
Sent for a grade 2 off the back of that she acquitted herself well to be 3rd behind the spellbinding Inspiral at Doncaster.
A comeback run at York left plenty to be desired however. Coming last of 12 runners in a listed event, she lost her chance at the start and never got involved in the race.
She’s hard to trust off the back of that poor effort.
Andrew Balding sends Majestic Glory here after an encouraging run last time out. Her first outing this season saw her come 3rd behind the impressive Wild Beauty in the Fred Darling Stakes.
Seven furlongs looking too sharp for her, stepping back up to a mile here will suit this 3 year old.
Her 2 year old form was smart and she beat Wild Beauty to score a group 3. She failed to kick on from there but a mile certainly looks like it’ll suit her here.
Scoring three times last year for connections, Bashkirova narrowly won her maiden over a mile before managing to back that up in novice company.
Taken to handicap company off the back of that she managed to easily defy a mark of 92 to score on soft ground at Newmarket.
She failed to finish the season on a high, not being able to step up in trip and grade in early November. Coming 7th in a listed contest.
She shaped smartly on her reappearance when coming a good 2nd to Mrs Fitzherbert over a mile at Goodwood in a listed race. She’ll come on for that run.
