Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: N/A
Days: 7

Been kept busy in his first season having already had 8 starts, winning one.

Beaten in a listed race 7 days ago at Dundalk on the latest of those.

Doubt he will be good enough stepped up to group 3 company here.

Tom Marquand

Alaskan Gold

J: Tom Marquand
T: K R Burke
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: 85
Days: 43

Got off the mark at the third time of asking winning a 6f novice event at Carlisle just over a month ago.

Went off 4/9 so was expected to get the job done but he has some solid form in the book already.

Drops to 5f for the first time here but gets cheekpieces and Tom Marquand in the saddle.

Could easily outrun his odds for inform yard.

Inquisitively

J: William Buick
T: Kevin Philippart De Foy
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: 105
Days: 48

Won a 5f listed even on stable debut for this yard at the end of August.

Placed in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot behind Big Evs prior to that when with Ollie Sangster.

Should have plenty more to offer here.

Serious player.

George Rooke

Rosario

J: George Rooke
T: Roger Teal
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: 99
Days: 28

Got off the mark at the first time of asking at Ffos Las in June.

Off the track for 82 days after that but bounced back with a fine effort when third to Big Evs in the group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster just over a month ago.

Seems versatile regards to ground and has solid each way claims if he can build on that.

Age: 2
Weight: 9-3

Days: 7

Showed plenty of promise early in the season winning 2 of his first 3 starts.

Has seemingmy regressed since and finished well behind Alabama at Dundalk 7 days ago.

Easy to pass on.

Toca Madera

J: Sean Levey

N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: 101
Days: 71

Has won 1 of his 5 starts so far and returns here off the back of a 71 day break.

Did too much to early the last twice over 6f but hasnt ran badly.

No surprise to see him dropped back to the minimum here.

Hard to know what to expect from him.

J: James Doyle

N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-3
OR: 97
Days: 6

Could only manage 5th in a sales race at this track 6 days ago when maybe doing too much infront.

Had been in good form prior to that winning handicaps at York (form worked out extremely well) and Windsor.

Drops to 5f for the first time since his racecourse debut and shouldn't be underestimated.

Weight: 9-0
OR: N/A
Days: 54

Eventually got off the mark at the 5th time of asking winning a Cork nursery.

Followed that up with a listed win 54 days ago beating Alabama by 1/2 length.

Form doesn't look strong enough to win this but she is going the right way.

Chased home Big Evs in the Flying Childers last time out at Doncaster.

Has ran incredibly well in some good 5f races this season and no reason she won't run well again here.

Versatile regards to ground.

Rossa Ryan

Majestic Beauty

J: Rossa Ryan
T: Alice Haynes
N/A

Weight: 9-0
OR: 93
Days: 27

Well beaten over 6f in a Group 3 in France 27 days ago.

Prior to that was just touched off in a 5f listed race at Newbury.

Return to 5f here will definitely help but doesn';t look good enough on what we have seen so far.

Jim Crowley

J: Jim Crowley

Days: 36

Won her first two starts including beating Majestic Beauty in a listed race at Newbury.

Didn't stay last time in the 6f group 3 Dick Poole at Salisbury.

Return to 5f here definitely in her favour but she needs to continue her progression to win this.

Weight: 9-0
OR: 88
Days: 114

Unlucky not to beat the very talented Soprano on debut when not getting a clear run over this C&D.

Made no mistake next time when beating Flora of Bermuda in the Hilary Needler at Beverley.

Queen Mary may of come to soon at Royal Ascot where she was only 9th.

Has been off for 114 days since and if she is ready to go here she has every chance.

Yet to get off the mark after 4 attempts but has been placed in all of them.

Stable 2nd string on jockey bookings here though and unlikely she will break her maiden tag today.

Third in the listed race at Newbury behind Miaharris and Majestic Beauty on stable debut when last seen.

Will need to improve a lot to get involved here and she probably wants softer ground.

Unbreak My Heart

J: John Fahy
T: Clive Cox

Weight: 9-0
OR: 90
Days: 36

Has been a bit dissapointing the last twice over 6f in listed and group 3 company.

Had previously looked quite smart including when 3rd behind Relief Rally on her racecourse debut.

Drop back to 5f here will definitely help and there should be plenty of pace to run at.

Not totally ruled out.
