Ryan Moore

Tenebrism

J: Ryan Moore
T: A P O'Brien
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 114
Days: 47

Tenebrism went off 11/4f for the Guineas and she did dissapoint. She finished 8th of 13, and she did weaken quickly towards the business end of the race.

There were stamina doubts at a mile prior to the Guineas, so they must remain after her performance.

She has the measure of some on 2yo form, but she now has work to do and a point to prove.

David Probert

Sandrine

J: David Probert
T: Andrew Balding
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 108
Days: 47

One of the better 2yos last year, Sandrine also ran okay when 5th in the Guineas. This track suits and she can improve from her seasonal reappearance.

She must have a very live each way chance, and it's possible she's being overlooked.

James Doyle

Cachet

J: James Doyle
T: George Boughey
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 113
Days: 33

She has been a revelation this year, winning the 1000 Guineas and she was just narrowly denied in the French equivalent.

Her form has really hit new heights and she will be a tough nut to crack if she's able to dictate.

Shane Foley

Discoveries

J: Shane Foley

N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 110
Days: 47

Smart as a 2yo. She failed to impress on her seasonal reappearance in the 1000 Guineas, finishing a down the field 7th.

Trainer Jessie Harrington says that she has come on again, but she'll need to leave her Guineas effort well behind her.

Marco Ghiani

Rolling The Dice

J: Marco Ghiani
T: Hilal Kobeissi
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 95
Days: 13

Connections very much living up to her namesake here, Rolling The Dice looks to be up against it.

This daughter of Mehmas has just the one win from six runs, but she has been tried in good company.

In better class, she hasn't really troubled any of the evident group fillies, so she has it all to do here.

Prosperous Voyage

J: Rob Hornby
T: Ralph Beckett
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 112
Days: 47

Often finds one too good. She has 2yo form with a lot of these, and she ran a cracker in the 1000 Guineas. But, she does seem to always find one or two too good.

She has every chance on the bare bones of her form though, and she's clearly consistent.

Frankie Dettori

Inspiral

J: Frankie Dettori
T: John & Thady Gosden
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 115
Days: 252

Top 2yo filly last year. She is unbeaten in four, and has looked very classy to date. However, her absence and soundness has to be of concern, after missing a few of her early season targets.

If she is 100%, and she has trained on, she's entitled to a better chance than most.

Gerald Mosse

Mangoustine

J: Gerald Mosse
T: M Delzangles
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 111
Days: 33

Classic winning filly who is 4/5 to date. She edged out Cachet in the French 1000 Guineas on her last outing, and she did really well to win.

Prior to that she had looked a horse with a touch of star quality. She still has plenty of potential and she has a top chance.

Colin Keane

Honey Girl

J: Colin Keane
T: Henry De Bromhead
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 99
Days: 40

Still a maiden. She has ran four times and she's not really in the same league of these on bare form. It's hard to make a solid case for a maiden in a G1, but stranger things have happened.

William Buick

Spendarella

J: William Buick
T: H Graham Motion
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 107
Days: 69


Spendarella is an interesting runner. It's hard to weigh up American form, but she's looked a quality filly on each of her three outings.

She's also won them all. She took a G2 last time out at Keeneland and Buick takes the ride here. She has to have a chance.

Jamie Spencer

Grande Dame

J: Jamie Spencer
T: John & Thady Gosden
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 100
Days: 35

Ran a good race last time out on her step up to listed company. She was only beaten a head, though she probably should have won.

She is well bred and she's showing signs of improvement, but as it stands, she has loads to find.

Jose L Ortiz

Pizza Bianca

J: Jose L Ortiz
T: Christophe Clement
N/A
Age: 3
Weight: 9-2
OR: 111
Days: 28

Breeders' Cup winner at two, who looks to have trained on this season. She does actually have 2yo form with Cachet, and she looks to be holding her on that, though Cachet has progressed again this year and it's hard to know where Pizza Bianca is at.

Entitled to take her chance, very interesting runner.
