Dam once-raced half-sister to high-class 9.5f/1¼m winner (in France/Australia) Avilius out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) Alessandria. Lots to like on paper for powerful connections. Siyouni filly; yard has an excellent record in this race; interesting. |
|||
2nd (14)  (9/1 +25%)Wild Angel |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Wild Angel 9/1, Closely related to high-class winner up to 8.3f Space Blues and shaped with plenty of promise when third in 12-runner novice at Kempton (7f) on debut. Didn't progress as perhaps expected over the same C&D a fortnight ago. Beaten favourite in both outings but has a smart pedigree and may still progress. |
|||
3rd (5)  (50/1 -400%)Luna Girl |
50/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Luna Girl 50/1, Second of 6 in novice at Epsom (7f, soft) on debut 29 days ago, no match for winner but beating the rest easily enough. Open to improvement. Showed ability at Epsom but ran to an ordinary RPR and needs to improve plenty. |
|||
4th (9)  (80/1 -60%)Pina Sonata |

5th (12)  (15/2 0%)Rockin' The Boat |
15/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Rockin' The Boat 15/2, Half-sister to several winners and shaped well in what was probably an above-average maiden on the July Course in August. Merely matched that form when occupying the same spot at Sandown and that puts her in the mix. Third in 7f maidens won by fillies who have boosted the form at Group level since. |
|||
6th (15)  (14/1 -75%)Wilhelmina |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Wilhelmina 14/1, Promising sort. 20/1, second of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away and not unduly punished. Sure to build on that. Promising second in Kempton contest; clear possibilities, granted normal progress. |
|||
7th (11)  (14/1 +13%)Revelance |

Sure to improve, particularly over 7f. Appeared to find 6f on the sharp side at Haydock; may improve upped to 7f. |
|||
10th (1)  (22/1 +33%)Celestial Pearl |

5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Head To Head 5/1, Very promising start amidst clear signs of greenness when second of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 14 days ago, running on. Sure to step up on that and she's a major player for leading connections. Typically well-bred Ballydoyle filly; duly showed promise in Dundalk maiden; respected. |
|||
12th (4)  (40/1 -150%)Jet Black |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jet Black 40/1, Foaled March 29. Kodiac filly.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
With several top yards represented, the betting market should be informative. Stable companions Verse Of Love and Wild Angel, along with the likes of Mystery Of Love and Revelance, all fly the flag for high-profile trainers from these shores and command respect. However, Ballydoyle raider HEAD TO HEAD could be the way to go now the daughter of Wootton Bassett switches to turf after a highly encouraging second-placed finish on her debut at Dundalk last month.
A back-end maiden that is sure to work out, with HEAD TO HEAD just about the most persuasive option for her leading stable on the back of a highly-encouraging debut at Dundalk a fortnight ago. Mother Mara and Wilhelmina are sure-fire improvers in their own right, with Verse of Love possibly the pick of the newcomers.
Newcomers have dominated this race since 2018. VERSE OF LOVE and Revelance are particularly interesting in this year's field.

1st (9)  (13/2 +13%)Coto De Caza |
13/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Coto De Caza 13/2, Sioux Nation filly impressed when landing 5f novices at Beverley and Goodwood in July before a good third of 14 to Star of Mehmas in listed race at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make her presence felt. Registered her two wins in good style; creditable third in Ayr Listed race since. |
|||
2nd (10)  (11/2 +15%)Grande Marques |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Grande Marques 11/2, Improving Irish filly who got off the mark in 6f Navan novice before a fine neck third of 13 to Sky Majesty in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, collared late on. Big shout dropped to the minimum trip. Irish filly; ran well in Ayr Group 3 on latest 6f start; should be at least as good at 5f. |
|||
3rd (1)  (25/1 -39%)Kullazain |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kullazain 25/1, Built on his debut promise when readily landing 10-runner maiden at Sandown (5f, soft) 28 days ago. This is tougher but he has more to offer so possibilities. Twice-raced colt who may build on his ready Sandown win and show further progress. |
|||
4th (2)  (12/1 +14%)La Bellota |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) La Bellota 12/1, Useful maiden who faced a stiff task when thirteenth of 16 to Makarova in Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp (5f, soft) 5 days ago. Turned out quickly but still merits consideration. Still a maiden but he's a useful one; close second in the Mill Reef on penultimate run. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 -64%)Treasure Isle |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Treasure Isle 9/1, Useful dual 5f winner, latest in listed event at the Curragh in August. Recorded a respectable third of 6 to Aesterius in Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp (5f, good to firm) 40 days ago so he must enter calculations. Ballydoyle colt; solid third in Lonchamp Group 3 last time; respectable chance on form. |
|||
6th (7)  (20/1 -43%)Zayer |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Zayer 20/1, Progressive son of Starspangledbanner who readily opened his account in 5f Ripon maiden in August. Good fifth of 10 to Aesterius in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good) 28 days ago so ought to be in the shake-up. Successful in Ripon maiden and good fifth in the Flying Childers since dropped to 5f. |
|||
7th (5)  (9/2 -13%)The Strikin Viking |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Strikin Viking 9/2, Impressive debut York winner before an excellent runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh for Kevin Ryan. Posted another fine effort for his new yard when second in Richmond Stakes at Goodwood but went too freely when beating only one in the Gimcrack at York last time. Worth another chance. Good chance on best 6f form and latest effort suggests he's ready for a crack at 5f. |
|||
8th (12)  (80/1 -186%)River Seine |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) River Seine 80/1, Fairly useful 5f scorer but she came in only fourteenth of 16 to Tropical Storm in listed race at York (5f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Form dipped last time, kept to Listed level; faces a difficult task on the figures. |
|||
9th (3)  (5/2 +44%)Midnight Thunder |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Midnight Thunder 5/2, Typically well-bred Godolphin colt who has looked a smart prospect in impressively bagging 6f novices at Windsor and Yarmouth recently. This demands more but he's very much one to consider. Has progressive 6f form and gives the impression he'll cope with this drop in distance. |
|||
10th (4)  (7/1 +56%)Mr Lightside |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Lightside 7/1, Secured 5f novices at Redcar and Nottingham in the summer and stepped up again since, a solid seventh of 10 to Aesterius in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good) 28 days ago. Can give another good account. Good third in the Group 3 Molecomb; no further progress in two runs since; tad exposed. |
|||
11th (8)  (100/1 -150%)Blue Zodiac |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Blue Zodiac 100/1, Resumed winning ways with a career best in 11-runner novice at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. This demands another big step forward though. Took advantage of a return to novice level last time; stiffer task back up in class. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having finished runner-up in a couple of Group 2 events already, The Strikin Viking should be a key player despite failing to do himself justice by running too freely in the Gimcrack at York in August. However, MIDNIGHT THUNDER is less exposed and appeals after he easily brushed aside a 7lb penalty in a novice stakes at Yarmouth last month. This obviously demands more but the son of Kodiac could find the requisite improvement with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. Treasure Isle and Mr Lightside are other strong contenders.
Lots with chances in a fascinating Cornwallis but this could go the way of the Irish with the progressive GRANDE MARQUES taken to build on her excellent Group 3 third at Ayr and fend off Aidan O'Brien's consistent Treasure Isle. Zayer looks to have more to offer and could emerge as the best of the home contingent ahead of The Strikin Viking and Midnight Thunder.
The suggestion is GRANDE MARQUES, an in-form filly who promises to be suited by 5f. The Strikin Viking is second choice.

1st (7)  (25/1 -25%)Merrily |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Merrily 25/1, Fairly useful effort when landing 5f Naas maiden in June and has advanced her form over 7f since, fifth of 9 to Heavens Gate in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh last time. One for the shortlist. Fairly useful but her limitations have been exposed somewhat; stable second string. |
|||
2nd (1)  (3/1 +14%)Cathedral |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cathedral 3/1, Expensive breeze-up buy who looked a smart prospect when landing the odds in 10-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) on her debut 16 days ago, showing a good turn of foot. Seems sure to go on to much better things. Most interesting. Nicely bred; powered clear in the closing stages at Lingfield and looks very promising. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +22%)Flight |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Flight 7/2, Improving by the run and followed up her 7f maiden win at Sandown in August with a very good 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Desert Flower in May Hill Stakes at Doncaster (8f, good) 29 days ago. Enters calculations. Improving filly whose form stacks up well; good third in the May Hill; solid contender. |
|||
4th (10)  (22/1 -10%)Troia |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Troia 22/1, Well backed when a cosy winner of 10-runner maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on her debut in July. Off since but this Kingman filly is open to a fair bit of progress so possibilities. Newbury maiden winner; brings potential but needs to improve a large amount. |
|||
5th (2)  (7/1 +22%)Ecstatic |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ecstatic 7/1, Progressive Lord Kanaloa filly who got off the mark in Tipperary maiden in August and backed it up with a very good fifth of 9 to Desert Flower in May Hill Stakes at Doncaster (8f, good) 29 days ago. Well in the mix with more to come. Finished behind Flight in the May Hill but shaped as if this drop back in trip will suit. |
|||
6th (6)  (17/2 +39%)Mandurah |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mandurah 17/2, Kingman filly made a winning debut in 6f Newmarket novice in June and stepped up on that when a close fourth of 8 to Simmering in Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot (6f, good) following month. Open to further progress stepped up to 7f and a likely player. Ran well in the Princess Margaret Stakes but has been absent for 11 weeks; market useful. |
|||
7th (3)  (7/1 -27%)First Instinct |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) First Instinct 7/1, Has created a very good impression in landing a maiden at Nottingham and novice at Haydock this summer, both over 6f. This step up in trip looks a big plus and she's a player. Brings a 2-2 profile and shapes as if she'll relish this step up to 7f; possibilities. |
|||
8th (9)  (100/1 -100%)Naina |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Naina 100/1, Already a four-time winner over 7f and her latest C&D nursery success 13 days ago was a career best. This is much tougher however. Record of 4-5 since upped to 7f, the latest success in nursery here; this is harder. |
|||
9th (5)  (13/2 -44%)Magical Trail |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Magical Trail 13/2, Blue Point filly comes here unbeaten after stylish novice successes at Newmarket (7f) and Kempton (6f) this summer. Big shout with better to come now going back up in trip for last year's winning yard. Two from two; represents last year's winning yard and looks an interesting contender. |
|||
10th (8)  (10/1 -25%)Miss Fascinator |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miss Fascinator 10/1, Arrives on the up, bagging 7f nursery at Newmarket in August before an excellent ½-length second of 8 to Tabiti in Group 3 at Salisbury (6f) 28 days ago. Holds very good form claims. Brings useful form, having gone close in the Dick Poole at Salisbury; 1-1 over 7f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
MISS FASCINATOR was a ready winner on the July course on her penultimate start before finding only the potentially high-class Tabiti too good in the Dick Poole at Salisbury last month. Those are two strong pieces of form, which earn the daughter of Mehmas a tentative vote in a highly-competitive edition of this race. Charlie Appleby has a strong chance of back-to-back winners if Magical Trail copes with the rise in class on her first try outside of novice company. Flight and Ecstatic are other key players to consider.
A wide open Oh So Sharp Stakes and it could go the way again of Charlie Appleby who took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with his unbeaten Blue Point filly MAGICAL TRAIL now she is returned to 7f. William Haggas' First Instinct can also advance her form for this stiffer stamina test and is next on the list, although Ralph Beckett's exciting filly Cathedral and the more experienced duo Miss Fascinator and Ecstatic can also have a say. Mandurah completes the shortlist.
Lingfield scorer CATHEDRAL looks a Group filly in the making and is first choice ahead of Flight, who holds solid claims on form.

1st (7)  (3/1 +63%)Topgear |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Topgear 3/1, Smart colt who finished placed on first 3 starts this season and was right back to his very best when landing a Longchamp Group 3 (7f) 26 days ago, by ½ length from Ten Bob Tony. Needs respecting for top French stable. French horse who beat Ten Bob Tony at Longchamp last month, taking 7f record to 2-3. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/2 +22%)Royal Scotsman |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Royal Scotsman 7/2, Third in last year's 2000 Guineas and better than ever when landing the Group 3 Diomed at Epsom (8.5f) back in June, coming in for a canny front-running ride from Spencer. Likely he'll face competition up front here but he's an intriguing contender nevertheless. Absent since his win in the Diomed Stakes when suited by the switch to front-running. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/1 +30%)Quinault |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quinault 7/1, Prolific last season, winning 7 times, including 6 in a row. Slow start to this campaign but has resumed progress of late, bring up the hat-trick with more than bare margin implies in 8-runner York listed contest (6f) 33 days ago. Effective at this longer trip and respected. Back in great form of late, completing a 6f Listed hat-trick; has won over 7f. |
|||
4th (8)  (17/2 +23%)Ten Bob Tony |
17/2(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ten Bob Tony 17/2, Stepped up on his useful juvenile form when making all in C&D conditions' race in April. Seen just 3 times since, career-best display when ½-length second of 9 to Topgear in Prix du Pin at Longchamp (7f) 26 days ago, looking unlucky not to win. Respected. Good effort behind Topgear at Longchamp; won over C&D in the spring; not dismissed. |
|||
5th (2)  (13/2 -160%)Noble Dynasty |
13/2(-160%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Noble Dynasty 13/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who has taken his form up a notch this year, winning a C&D handicap prior to taking Criterion Stakes on July Course. Slowly away having anticipated the start when last of 8 in Lennox at Goodwood (7f) when last seen in July and he's the type to bounce back quickly. Has a record of 5-8 over 7f; leading player on ratings and well suited by Newmarket. |
|||
6th (9)  (9/1 -29%)Witness Stand |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Witness Stand 9/1, Smart gelding who has upped his game with cheekpieces fitted in recent starts, taking step up to listed level in his stride when scoring in clear-cut style at Newbury (7f) 3 weeks ago. Well worth his place in this company on that evidence. Has form figures of 121 since wearing cheekpieces; could well show further progress. |
|||
7th (11)  (12/1 -20%)Great Generation |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Great Generation 12/1, Low-mileage 3-y-o who quickly dispelled a lesser effort in France when running a pretty cosy winner of Group 3 filles' event at Doncaster (7f) 26 days ago, pulling clear with 3 fellow progressive sorts. Versatile as regards ground and no surprise to see a good showing. Doncaster Group 3 win took her 7f record to 2-3; gets weight all round; possibilities. |
|||
8th (10)  (14/1 +44%)Vetiver |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Vetiver 14/1, Useful filly who resumed winning ways at Chelmsford (7f, listed) in July and similar form in defeat in Group contests at Goodwood/Doncaster subsequently. Work to do if she's to play a lead role here, though. Ran well in the Park Stakes; still needs a bigger performance to break her Group duck. |
|||
9th (6)  (16/1 -33%)Shouldvebeenaring |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shouldvebeenaring 16/1, Smart colt (C&D winner) who ran a cracker when second in a York Group 2 at the Dante Meeting and resumed winning ways in French Group 3 in July. Placed on 2 of his 3 starts since, latterly when third in Park Stakes at Doncaster and he's an each-way player again at this level. Tough colt but has won just one of his last 16 races; set for minor honours at best. |

10th (1)  (50/1 -52%)Jumby |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jumby 50/1, Smart performer who ran his best race of the present campaign when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f) in August. However, that was a muddling affair and he's not scaled same heights either outing since. Others appeal more back at this level. Smart on his day but is out of the winning habit (on a 12-race losing sequence). |
|||
11th (3)  (28/1 +30%)Pogo |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pogo 28/1, Landed this race 2 years ago and he's still capable of smart form at the age of 8, placed in listed/Group contests at Haydock earlier this term. Struggled to match that level of late, soon done with once headed when eighth of 9 in Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 4 weeks ago. Hasn't done enough this term to suggests he'll win this race for a second time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having started slowly and finishing in last place in the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July, it is too soon to be writing off NOBLE DYNASTY. Previous to that mishap, Charlie Appleby's gelding proved a game winner in the Criterion Stakes on the July course and a return to the Rowley Mile is certainly no negative for this dual C&D winner. A more aggressive ride and drop in class saw Royal Scotsman making all in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom last time out and the four-year-old is feared most, ahead of Witness Stand.
Low-mileage 6-y-o NOBLE DYNASTY has improved again this season, successful over C&D in the spring before landing a Group 3 on the July Course in June. With a line best put through his run at Glorious Goodwood a month later, this has presumably been the target since and he makes plenty of appeal. Royal Scotsman arrives fresher than most and he's an intriguing contender along with the highly admirable and prolific Quinault. Great Generation is one of the 3-y-os to note.
Smart ROYAL SCOTSMAN is taken to follow up his Epsom win. Witness Stand is second choice, ahead of Noble Dynasty.

1st (4)  (10/11 +39%)Desert Flower |
10/11(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Desert Flower 10/11, Very smart prospect who took her unbeaten record to three when landing the May Hill at Doncaster at the expense of January. Leading claims at the top level for the first time. Improving and still unbeaten; beat January in the May Hill at Doncaster; leading claims. |
|||
2nd (6)  (7/2 +13%)January |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) January 7/2, Relished step up to 7.5f when a 4-length winner in listed company at Tipperary and continued her progress when runner-up to Desert Flower in the May Hill last month. Something to find with that rival but is the choice of Moore and merits respect. Ran well behind Desert Flower in the May Hill; Ryan Moore is back on board; big player. |
|||
3rd (2)  (14/1 -17%)Ballet Slippers |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ballet Slippers 14/1, Bred in the purple and she has shaped well when placed on both runs prior to readily landing the odds in a novice at Ascot last month. More improvement on the cards and can't be written off. Needs improvement to follow up her Ascot win but that's not out of the question. |
|||
4th (5)  (15/2 -25%)Dreamy |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dreamy 15/2, American Pharoah filly who stepped forward significantly from her winning debut when landing the Flame of Tara Stakes at the Curragh cosily. Expected to go on progressing and already has the form to compete. Curragh Group 3 win took her record to 2-2; promising filly who has to be feared. |
|||
5th (7)  (11/2 +8%)Tabiti |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tabiti 11/2, Kingman filly who created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking in 9-runner maiden at Newmarket, then took a step forward and showed a good attitude to land the Dick Poole Stakes at Salisbury last time. Obvious claims for a yard going well. Not short of speed but elements of pedigree suggest she'll stay 1m; has potential. |
|||
6th (1)  (33/1 -136%)Anna Swan |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anna Swan 33/1, Almanzor filly who has looked a good prospect in winning both starts to date, unchallenged in a 4-runner conditions event at Newbury three weeks. Those performances have been more about style than substance but she's a definite player. Promising filly who is 2-2; great-granddaughter of a Fillies' Mile winner; interesting. |
|||
7th (3)  (50/1 +24%)California Dreamer |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) California Dreamer 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 16/1, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 9 to Heavens Gate in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, staying on well. Faces a stiff task in this company, however. Useful maiden but faces a stiff assignment upped to the top level. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Dreamy supplemented her gutsy maiden victory at Goodwood with a ready victory in a Group 3 at the Curragh later in August. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly merits respect in her bid to land a hat-trick, but DESERT FLOWER may prove too strong. The daughter of Night Of Thunder proved a decisive winner in the May Hill at Doncaster last month and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record on this fourth appearance. Tabiti looks best of the remainder.
DESERT FLOWER has looked a top-notch filly on each visit to the racecourse to date and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record for all that this is her sternest test to date. Dreamy and Tibiti also arrive with a 100% record, so they add plenty of strength to the contest along with the likes of Anna Swan and January, who also have plenty of potential.
Desert Flower is strongly respected but an interesting alternative at bigger odds is the suitably bred and promising ANNA SWAN.

1st (14)  (11/2 +50%)Sun God |
11/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sun God 11/2, Only an AW nursery win to his name last December but has shown better form in defeat this year, shaping better than the result when fifth of 16 in Melrose at York (1¾m, good to firm) in August, fading late as of just stretched by the trip. Interesting back at 1½m. May have been stretched by 1m6f when fifth of 16 in the Melrose at York on latest outing. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 +17%)Mount Atlas |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mount Atlas 10/3, Form of 1½m Ascot handicap debut success at the end of July is very strong. It looks like he might saved for this race since and good shout for last year's winning yard. Relentless challenge to get up close home in eight-runner handicap at Ascot (1m4f, good). |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/1 -50%)Kildare Legend |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kildare Legend 9/1, Promising son of Sea The Stars who opened his account in a Southwell novice before following up in 1½m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Raised 6 lb but it's likely there's more to come. Four races; further progress is highly likely after his Doncaster win (1m4f, good to soft). |
|||
4th (13)  (100/1 -150%)Kitteridge |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Kitteridge 100/1, Looked useful when landing a 1¼m Newcastle maiden in February but has failed to make a significant impact at listed level since and she couldn't have been found a much more competitive race for her handicap debut. Out of form in Listed races and this looks a stiff mark for handicap debut. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/1 +50%)Imperial Sovereign |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Sovereign 10/1, Drawn a blank since his AW debut success last December but he is useful, running with credit in a first-time visor (retained) when fourth at Ascot (1½m, good to soft) last month. His stable's record in top handicaps recently makes him dangerous to rule out but his mark looks on the high side. Nearly 2-2 on AW to start career but he's been put firmly in his place since. |
|||
6th (11)  (20/1 -67%)Blake |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Blake 20/1, Winner of handicaps over 1m and 1¼m at Sandown this year. Creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 10 to reopposing Grey Cuban at Doncaster (1¼m) last time. First attempt at this trip. Creditable fifth to Grey Cuban at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) latest, keeping on well. |
|||
7th (15)  (22/1 +12%)Give It To Me Oj |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Give It To Me Oj 22/1, Fairly useful maiden. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Sandown (1¼m, good) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Others are more compelling. Likely to be fine back at 1m4f but this is a tough race in which to get off the mark.. |
|||
8th (8)  (33/1 +0%)Spaceport |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Spaceport 33/1, Made all over 1¾m at Sandown in July but found out in stronger races over that trip since. This doesn't look any easier now returning to 1½m. Has failed to reproduce the form of his front-running Sandown win (1m6f, good) in July. |
|||
9th (3)  (6/1 +45%)Goodwood Odyssey |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Goodwood Odyssey 6/1, Third win of his career when scoring in first-time blinkers at Goodwood (1½m, soft) in August but proved too keen when only a well-held fifth at Ascot since. The headgear is left off this time. Blinkered last twice (1m4f, soft) when winning at Goodwood but racing too freely at Ascot. |
|||
10th (5)  (5/1 +9%)Brioni |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brioni 5/1, Has resumed his progress the last twice, triumphing by 4 lengths over 1¼m at Ascot (good to soft) 5 weeks ago. A 7 lb rise is fair enough but he wouldn't be certain to benefit from this step up to 1½m. Ascot win latest; up 7lb; pedigree and last two performances give 1m4f significant appeal. |
|||
11th (9)  (20/1 -43%)Due To Henry |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Due To Henry 20/1, Made it 3 wins from 7 career starts when shading a tight finish over 1¼m at Newbury (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Incurs a 6 lb penalty for that and he isn't sure to benefit from this longer distance. Pretty solid in his five 1m2f handicaps, winning two; looks the type to do better still. |
|||
12th (12)  (16/1 +36%)Trouville |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Trouville 16/1, Won a Chepstow maiden (1¼m, good) in May. Bounced back form a disappointing first attempt in handicap company when 1½ lengths fourth of 13 to Kildare Legend at Doncaster (1½m, good) 29 days ago. May do better again. Good fourth of 13 to Kildare Legend at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago. |
|||
13th (10)  (33/1 -32%)Highland Bling |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Highland Bling 33/1, Winner of a maiden at Fairyhouse in June. Better form when going close in a couple of 12.5f Gowran handicaps later in the summer but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Listowel last month. Just 4 ran at Gowran penultimate start but he could be on a good mark after that close 2nd. |
|||
14th (1)  (22/1 -57%)Grey Cuban |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grey Cuban 22/1, Made it 3 wins from 4 starts since fitted with a hood when scoring at the Doncaster St Leger meeting (1¼m, good) under Jamie Spencer last month. Back up in trip. A really smart handicap performance will be needed to defy top weight here. Won over about 1m2f in three of last four starts; the exception was sole attempt at 1m4f. |
|||
15th (6)  (22/1 -38%)Kamboo |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kamboo 22/1, Both wins on AW, producing a useful performance in a Newcastle Racing League handicap in August. That form is very solid but he couldn't back it up returned to turf at Ascot since. While it's a bit too soon to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass others have less to prove. Looked capable of better before a heavy defeat on soft ground at Ascot last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
KILDARE LEGEND was an easy winner at Southwell in July before defying an opening mark of 85 in comfortable fashion at Doncaster last month. A 6lb rise ought to be well within range given the manner of that success, and, though this is competitive, James Ferguson's charge is fancied to go in again. Alan King landed this with Trueshan in 2019 and he would appear to hold a live chance with recent Ascot scorer Brioni. Grey Cuban won on Town Moor last time out and he is respected up 3lb, along with Mount Atlas and Irish raider Highland Bling.
MOUNT ATLAS had Melrose-winner Tabletalk behind in third when scoring on Ascot handicap debut at the end of July and can make light of a 7 lb rise on his first outing since. Kildare Legend looks capable of better again on the back of his Doncaster success last month and is feared most ahead of Sun God, who failed to stay 1¾m in the Melrose but was prominent enough for a long way to think his mark is very workable.
The most likely improvers seem to be BRIONI (nap), Mount Atlas and Kildare Legend, with Brioni preferred.

1st (6)  (5/1 +44%)Lady Boba |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lady Boba 5/1, Looked on the up when placed in a pair of Group races over 1½m at Haydock this summer but hasn't been in the same in 2 starts since dropped back to this trip, finding the emphasis on speed against her fifth behind Sound Angela at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) 23 days ago. Major player on best 2024 form but that was over 1m4f; co-fifth to Sound Angela on latest. |
|||
2nd (8)  (14/1 -87%)Sound Angela |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sound Angela 14/1, Stepped up on her comeback run to score for the first time in over 2 years when winning 14-runner listed race at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) 23 days ago. Had a few of these in behind there and she was worth additional credit for overcoming a pace bias, so remains of interest after a light campaign. Had wind surgery before return and she's never been better after 1m2f Yarmouth Listed win. |
|||
3rd (13)  (12/1 -20%)Higher Leaves |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Higher Leaves 12/1, Put experience to good use to deny a blue-blooded newcomer in a Dundalk maiden (10.7f) on reappearance. Unable to land a blow in Group company on her next 2 outings but capitalised on an easy lead to win a 9-runner listed race at Longchamp (10.4f, good to firm, 23/1) 40 days ago. Respected. Made most from wide draw in French 10.5f Listed race, well on top in the closing stages. |
|||
4th (12)  (40/1 -300%)Francophone |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Francophone 40/1, Useful filly who took advantage of a slight drop in grade when bagging Goodwood listed event in May and returned to a similar level when fourth in a similar event at Salisbury (9.9f) in August. This is tougher. Fourth to High Spirited at Salisbury was respectable but overall improvement is needed. |
|||
5th (9)  (14/1 -40%)Verbier |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Verbier 14/1, Very well suited by a strong gallop when coming from rear to win the Lyric Stakes at York in July. Left with too much to do in a steadily-run contest at Saratoga last time, though she'll likely need to step forward again to play a major role in this company, York Listed win (1m2f, good to firm) in July; slowly away and never figured in US Grade 2. |
|||
6th (5)  (28/1 -133%)Imperial Quarter |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Imperial Quarter 28/1, Generally progressive this summer, taking another step forward when third in the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown at the end of August. Failed to beat a rival in a listed contest there last month, though, and others are easier to fancy. Easily best form when third of nine in 1m Group 3 at Sandown on penultimate start. |
|||
7th (10)  (7/4 +30%)Dance Sequence |
7/4(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dance Sequence 7/4, Won both starts at 2 yrs, including a Group 3 on this card. Close second in the Nell Gwyn on her return and bettered that form when filling the same position in the Oaks. Perhaps found the race coming too soon when last in the Prix de Diane 2 weeks later and she could well get back on the up. Up and down this term but second in the Oaks gives her a fine chance. |
|||
8th (1)  (40/1 +0%)Alanya |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alanya 40/1, Yet to add to last summer's win at the Curragh for these connections but she's held her form well this season, running close to her best when s sixth of 14 in a handicap there (10f, good, 12/1) 26 days ago. More required at this level. Reliable mare but yet to break through at Listed level (five attempts); this is tougher. |
|||
9th (2)  (22/1 -38%)Divina Grace |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Divina Grace 22/1, Credit to connections and found a bit of improvement to get off the mark for the season in 12f listed event on the July Course in August. Proved vulnerable under a penalty in a similar event at York since but typically gave her all. Can give a good account with posing a serious threat. Major career-best efforts in 1m4f Listed races last two starts; last ran at 1m2f June 2023. |
|||
10th (4)  (50/1 -178%)High Spirited |
50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) High Spirited 50/1, Unreliable type was seen to maximum effect in causing a 50/1 surprise to win an 8-runner listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) in August. Sent off at 125/1 but proved that performance was no fluke when third behind Sound Angela at Yarmouth last month. Worth a crack at this level. Better front-running lately for Salisbury Listed win and 3rd to Sound Angela at Yarmouth. |
|||
11th (15)  (7/1 +18%)Regal Jubilee |
7/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Regal Jubilee 7/1, Listed winner here last autumn and returned with a close second in the Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury. Back on track when 3 lengths fifth of 14 to Sound Angela in listed race at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) 23 days ago, but bit more required if she's to go any closer here. Ran on well, but too late, for co-fifth to Sound Angela in 1m2f Listed race at Yarmouth. |
|||
12th (11)  (33/1 +0%)Forever Blue |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Forever Blue 33/1, Haydock maiden winner on debut and made a successful return to double her career tally in a novice event there in June. Down the field in 2 handicaps over 1m since, though, and looks to be biting off more than she can chew at this level. Behind in 1m handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood; stamina on the dam's side. |
|||
13th (7)  (15/2 +12%)Novus |
15/2(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Novus 15/2, Enhanced her good record at Goodwood when winning a listed race there (9.9f, heavy, 11/2) 16 days ago, showing good battling qualities in the latter stages to overcome a notably slow break. Won this race last season and another bold bid is expected. Clearly her top three ratings came on soft/heavy ground, including winning this race 2023. |
|||
14th (14)  (16/1 +0%)Place Of Safety |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Place Of Safety 16/1, Easily landed 11f Kempton novice in July and ran well upped in grade when second of 9 to Divina Grace in listed race at the July Course (12f, good to firm) in August. Another good effort when third in the Princess Royal Stakes at this course (12f, soft) 14 days ago and she could have more to offer. Has had only four races; improvement is needed, but possible given the drop back to 1m2f. |
|||
15th (3)  (66/1 -100%)Fakhama |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fakhama 66/1, Still lightly raced for her age and looked as good as ever when third in a 9-runner listed event at York in July. Not in same form at Salisbury last time, though, and she'd need a clear career best to figure in this company. Third in 1m2f Listed race at York in July; flopped behind High Spirited at Salisbury. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Oaks runner-up DANCE SEQUENCE hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly in July, but she returns from that absence in much calmer waters and is fancied to resume her progress. Sound Angela (winner) had the measure of High Spirited (third) in the John Musker at Yarmouth last time out and can be expected to confirm her superiority, but Verbier, who contested a Grade 2 at Saratoga recently, could be the bigger threat.
NOVUS proved as good as ever when scoring in listed company at Goodwood last time and appeals as a very solid option in bidding to record back-to-back wins in this contest. Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence is perhaps the stand-out on form and can't be discounted despite an absence and her high draw, whilst Sound Angela beat several of her opposition at Yarmouth last time and should still have plenty in the tank after a light season, so also makes the shortlist.
This most surely hinges on whether DANCE SEQUENCE can perform as she did in the Oaks. Her run in the Diane is probably best forgiven.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
