Both wins over 7f, the second here in March; good third to a subsequent winner at Newbury (1m, good) last time but not sure this step up in trip will suit as she can pull hard.

Ex-William Haggas; still a maiden but showed a fair level of ability last year, notably when placed in novices at Leicester (7f) and Newmarket (1m), but she was well below her best in a Chelmsford AW handicap on final start (1m2f); sold 30,000gns since; acts on AW but has stamina to prove.

Maiden; career-best performance when 1.75l second at Haydock last time (1m, good to soft); has some good AW form as well and comes into the reckoning but the step up a trip is a concern, having been below her best in only run at beyond 1m.

Maiden; good 2nd on turf last time (1m); has some sound AW runs as well; trip a concern

Stable Tour
"A lovely filly who ran very well in second at Kempton on her debut, looking as though she wanted further, and she was travelling really nicely into the race at Newbury on Friday when Sean [Levey] said she started to hang right. It turned out she'd spread a plate, but the shoe didn't come off until after the line. She's capable of a lot better. 21-04-26"

Stable going well and she has run two sound races on Southwell Tapeta (1m/1m3f) this spring; wouldn't rule out but has run below her best in both starts here (1m4f and 8.5f).
Comment
Stable going well and two good Tapeta runs this year, but below best both runs here
Quotes
"Phaedra is very straightforward, so it just made sense to go forward and see what happened. As it turned out, I was in front, and nobody wanted to take me on - Sean Levey, jockey, speaking to Sky Sports Racing."
