Cheveley Park Stud Stakes Guide

Dandalla has been the stand out filly over six furlongs this term for Karl Burke and is the worthy favourite for this event having progressively won all three of her races to date.

She started her career off at Newcastle when winning a Fillies Maiden by two lengths and off the back of that she stepped up to the Group Three Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and absolutely hosed up.

Over course and distance on her last run at Newmarket she landed the Group Two Duke Of Cambridge Stakes beating Fev Rover who has since franked the form by landing a Group Two in France.

The natural progression for this filly is to step into Group One company and being fresher than most the runners should play to her strengths.

Miss Amulet for Ken Condon struck gold for her trainer last time out when landing the Group Two Lowther stakes ahead of Sacred at York.

She has won three of her last four events has been progressively one of the best horses over six furlongs this term but now faces her toughest challenge stepping into Group One company.

The softer the better for this juvenile who since her York win has been sold for a decent amount to the part owner of Coolmore.

Happy Romance is a filly who certainly deserves a chance in this company but will need to improve a fair bit to go on and take a Group One.

The two year old has been highly progressive in lesser races this term landing a hat-trick recently, starting in a 25 runner Class 2 at Newbury.

She then went to York in another big fielded handicap and demolished the field which saw her step up to a Group Three at Salisbury where again she got the job done in style.

Her form looks strong but this will a completely different test and there are questions whether she is ready for to step up.

This Cheveley Park owned filly won well on debut when beating Sardinia Sunset by just under two lengths who has since gone on to frank that form by winning a Listed event.

She improved for that run when finishing a close second in the Group Two Queen Mary Stakes at the royal meeting and she backed that up by going even closer in the Group Two Lowther Stakes at York when losing in a photo-finish.

Again, the William Haggas trained filly could only finish runner up on her final start when a narrow second to 40/1 shot Ubettabelieveit, losing in another photo-finish.

She holds bundles of ability but now looks a hard horse to actually win with having been second on her last three occasions.

The filly has been superb since starting her life on a racecourse, getting off the mark on her debut at Thirsk and then backing that up in the Group Two Lowther Stakes last time out.

That run at York's Ebor meetng has since been franked with second that day since going on to finish second again in a photo-finish in another Group Two event.

She dropped in grade for his last event at Ayr when winning the 15 runner the Group Three Scotty Brand Firth Of Clyde Fillies' Stakes and if building on that could enter the frame in this one.

Alcohol Free has not done much wrong in both her runs to date for Andrew Balding and the filly looks fairly progressive.

The daughter of No Nay Never cost €40,000 and looks a bargain for what she has shown so far, getting off the mark on debut at Newbury on good to soft with the second place winning next time out to frank the form.

The filly also franked that form when a bold second at Salisbury behind Happy Romance in a Group Three and although needing to reverse that form here, she is much less exposed.

Aloha Star could cause a surprise at a double figure price having shown good Group One form last time out when third in the Phoenix Stakes behind Lucky Vega.

The filly actually finished a narrow second that day but was demoted a place in the stewards room, but reading between the lines on that form could make her a player having big race experience.

Although racing slightly more than some of the other runners she has proven recently she can be consistent as before placing at The Curragh she had won two nice events.

Each way player.

Zoetic is bidding to give James Ferguson his first Group One winner in this event and the filly holds some decent form but unfortunately in much easier company than this.

On all five of her starts this term she has not been out of the top three and having got better with every run she has turned those places into wins.

In her last tow outings she has got off the mark winning at Wolverhampton in a Class 5 and then stepping up Listed company at Newbury and beating a decent field home.

She needs to improve a massive amount but still retains potential.

The final runner of the race is the Mick Channon trained Illykato and there is a reason why she is the big 40/1 outsider with this move to put her in a Group One event more out of hope than promise.

The juvenile has ran four times getting off the mark at the second time of asking, but since then she has stepped up into two Group Three events and not really been involved.

Those two runs make her opposable with her looking like a Listed winner at most.
