John & Thady Gosden
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: 110
Days: 29

The unbeaten daughter of Frankel heads the betting for John and Thady Gosden off the back of three straight victories.
Winning a 7 furlong maiden that produced subsequent winners, she moved up in grade and took listed honours without breaking a sweat.

The 2nd franking the form with a group 1 win over in Canada subsequently.

Another step up in grade saw her tackle a mile for the first time and she again won with bundles in hand.

She’s only ever encountered rattling fast ground so faces a new challenge in softer underfoot conditions but she looks the real deal and deserves to be heading the market here.

Oisin Murphy once again partners Mise En Scene following the duo’s success in group company at Goodwood at the end of August.

Building upon an impressive debut over 7 furlongs at Haydock back in July, she easily beat a small field.

Despite the form not working out particularly well she put her 5 rivals away with ease and made the transition to group 3 company with a touch of class about her.

Just getting the better of Danyah in a tight finish, she showed some strong stamina to get to her rival late.

Moving up to a mile will certainly bring about another chunk of improvement and she’s beaten the same rival as Inspiral has in Prosperous Voyage. Certainly one with an each way chance.

Days: 12

Ballydoyle send over just the one runner in the shape of Concert Hall. By Dubawi, she broke her maiden at the second time of asking over 7 furlongs after finding her first attempt at 6 too sharp.

She then tried her hand at group company but found it difficult to adapt to life in a higher grade. Sent off co favourite fora Group 2 event at the Curragh back in August, she struggled in soft ground and only beat a single rival home.

Moved up to Group 1 company she fared much better to be 4th in the Moyglare Stud Stakes before taking group 3 at the Curragh only two weeks ago.

Dropping in grade certainly helped and she managed to get the better of Sunset Shiraz.

She looked smart at the Curragh and is looking to follow up quickly, a move up to a mile might just draw out the necessary improvement but she’s got something to find with Inspiral.

Jessica Harrington brings over her 2 year old Galileo filly Magical Lagoon.

Only seen twice on a racecourse so far, she debuted in august over a mile at Naas and was well fancied in the market but had to settle for a slightly disappointing 4th place finish.

Connections clearly were seeing some real promise at home and she moved straight up into a group 3 race for her next run where she reversed form with Albula to win over a mile.

She took a massive step forward for getting some experience under her belt and will no doubt improve even more for her second outing. She’s already won over a mile and has found her feet at group level already.

Age: 2

Days: 19

One of the more experienced runners in the field is Wild Beauty for the blue of Godolphin. Starting her career over the minimum trip at Ascot back in May.

She struggled over 5 furlongs on debut but easily shed her maiden when winning a maiden event for fillies over 6 furlongs on soft ground at Haydock.

She followed up under a penalty on soft ground at Newbury over 7 furlongs before coming 2nd to a wildly impressive Inspiral in the listed race at Sandown.

She moved up to Group 3 level and again found one too good when coming 2nd to Majestic Glory. However she took her form to new heights when winning a Group 1 over at Woodbine.

The form might not be as strong over there but she handled a mile well and is the only group 1 winner in the field. She handles soft ground, has experience and tight form linking with the favourite. Strong each way claims.

Andrew Balding
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: 100
Days: 14

Andrew Balding’s 2 year old daughter of Frankel has two career wins from five starts.

Only beating two rivals home on her first run over 6 furlongs on soft ground in July, she was then denied by only a neck at Newbury on faster ground on her second outing.

Breaking her maiden with ease at Newmarket, she moved up to 7 furlongs subsequently and got the better of Wild Beauty on quick ground to land a Group 3.

Last seen being beaten in the Rockfel Stakes, she didn’t like the rattling fast ground and only managed to come home in 6th.

Rain around will help and she shaped well over a stiff 7 furlongs previously. She should relish the mile and slower ground.

John & Thady Gosden
Age: 2

Days: 34

Another entrant for the Gosden’s in Bouquet. Only seen twice on course she broke her maiden in novice company last time out and looked smart in doing so.

She made her debut back in early July where she came 3rd behind Ardbraccan who’s since been easily brushed aside by Majestic Glory.

Having a run behind her, she improved for the outing and won when last seen at Ascot over a mile on quick ground last month.

The 3rd has boosted the form by coming out and winning since but she steps up massively in grade and has plenty to find with those at the head of the betting.

George Boughey

Days: 14

George Boughey’s Cachet recently ran a screamer to be 2nd in the Rockfel Stakes to Hello You in what was a clearcut career best by the 2 year old this season.

Winning on debut over 6 furlongs at the start of the season, she’s since struggled to acquit herself in higher grades. Trying her hand in listed and group races she was running well to place but wasn’t justifying favouritism or short prices when well fancied to take listed races.

She tried a mile over in France at the beginning of last month but failed to get competitive and finished a meagre 7th of 9.

She showed some real form at Newmarket last time out however and stayed on strongly to be 2nd to Hello You in a deep Group 2 contest.

Another run to that sort of level puts her in the mix but the softer ground isn’t likely to be in her favour.

Ralph Beckett
Age: 2
Weight: 9-0
OR: 101
Days: 29

Currently at the foot of the betting is Prosperous Voyage for Ralph Beckett. Her odds are longer than her form suggests it should be.

Beaten on debut, she took a major step forward to win over 7 furlongs at Epsom. Beaten when trying to concede a penalty at Chester to Nuance, she left that run behind to be a close 3rd behind Mise En Scene at Goodwood in the group 3 there.

She was then last seen coming 2nd to Inspiral at Doncaster over a mile in the May Hill Stakes.

She was beaten by both but has placed in two group contests on her last two outings. The concern could be she’s yet to tackle testing ground but her form is better than her price tag suggests.

Unlikely to get the better of Inspiral or Mise En Scene she can certainly outrun 33/1.
