Polly Pott

J: David Probert
T: Harry Dunlop
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 106
Days: 29

This filly has already been seen on the racecourse six times in her career so far winning four of those races.

She notched up a hat-trick of Class 5 events before stepping up massively in class when tackling an 8 runner field in the Group Two May Hill Stakes at Doncaster.

She produced a staggering performance that day as she was a 40/1 shot, one who surprised many people.

The filly now has to face Group One company which could be a bit of a push for her, but she certainly cannot be ruled out with the way she is winning her races at the moment.

On for a five timer so will be likely to give it her best chance.

N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2

This 2 year old daughter of Oasis Dream has not disgraced herself so far in her career as she has notched up a couple of placed efforts and one win.

That victory came in July over 7f at Goodwood where she beat She’s Hot by 3 ½ lengths. Steps up to a mile for the first time which could bring more out of her, but she has not faced any real opposition of note in Britain.

She did come second last time out overseas at Deauville in a Group Two contest, but the form does not look strong from that race so she has it all to do here.

Yard in good form ahead of this one.

Andrea Atzeni

Ferrari Queen

J: Andrea Atzeni
T: Charlie & Mark Johnston
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 94
Days: 29

A filly who certainly looked an exciting one as she made it 2-2 at the start of her career a couple of months ago.

Has not looked the same when stepping up in Grade so hard to make a case for her when it comes to facing other rivals who have just had more experience at that level.

Jockey Andrea Atzeni comes here in decent form.

N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 98
Days: 27

A filly by Galileo and one who has previously won over a mile albeit when she broke her maiden at Tipperary.

s bred to be quite smart but has not lived up to those expectations so far going off as a short priced favourite on three of her four runs.

Trip will not be an issue, but the question is can she handle the massive step up in class, probably not but she will have to show a lot more here. She could be one to improve markedly but looks a tough ask.

An interesting runner for top trainer Aidan O’Brien.

Tom Marquand

Alseyoob

J: Tom Marquand
T: Ismail Mohammed
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 90
Days: 35

Has won twice so far in her career from three starts but her penultimate run was disappointing when stepping up to Group Three company.

She was seven of nine other rivals that day so has a very tough assignment here for trainer Ismail Mohammed. Easy to dismiss as she has not shown signs of progressing in better quality races.

William Buick

Novakai

J: William Buick
T: K R Burke
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 103
Days: 29

Trainer Karl Burke’s second runner in this and one where current Champion Jockey William Buick takes the ride.

This filly was second behind Polly Pott at Doncaster last time out and she faces that rival again here. Has to up her game if she is to reverse the form and go close but hard to ignore at a big price.

Could be more of an each way shout in what looks a race where the current odds on favourite will be hard to beat. Nonetheless cannot be totally dismissed.

J: Robert Havlin
T: John & Thady Gosden
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 112
Days: 14

This trainer combo won the race last year with another odds on favourite at the time Inspiral, so they will be looking to do the same with this very exciting daughter of Kingman.

This 2 year old filly is 2-2 so far as she opened her account at this course winning a Class 4 in July.

Her second win came in a Group Two and she really toughed it out, showing she could be more than capable of a near Group One success.

Further progression should be on the cards stepping up to a mile for the first time, therefore she is certainly the filly they will all have to try and beat. Looks a very exciting prospect for the Gosden’s.

One of two for trainer Karl Burke in this year’s renewal of the Group One Fillies Mile at Newmarket. This filly was definitely one to note down after her taking debut in a maiden at this course in August.

She quickened clear in some fashion meaning she won by 9 lengths but her second run in Group Three company was not as good.

She was ¾ length behind Breege in third at Goodwood, but she remains with potential. Looks to be the trainer’s strongest runner out of the two.

Could be in the mix with a repeat performance or something similar to her debut success.
