Group Three Jersey Stakes Guide 2022

Shaping well on his debut over 7 furlongs, this Lope De Vega colt got off the mark at the second time of asking over the same trip.

Winning with bundles in hand he went for the Autumn Stakes off the back of that but was held in 3rd behind the 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus.

Returning this season over a mile in listed company, he ran a solid race to only be beaten narrowly by Checkandchallenge.

Stepped up in trip last time out in the Dee Stakes his stamina gave way late and he faded back into 4th late on.
A shorter trip should suit here.

Scoring on soft ground last season over 6 furlongs, moving up in trip didn’t unlock any further progress for Tacarib Bay.
Beaten in all his starts since, he struggled in group company on his only other outing of the season.

Returning in a listed handicap he just found New Science too strong at Newmarket.

Last seen trying a mile in the 2000 Guineas he was sent off a massive price and only came home in 12th of the 15 runners.

Coming back to 7 furlongs looks a positive and he could get involved if showing similar form to what he did in Newmarket.

Despite showing some promise as a 2 year old, Dubawi Legend has failed to kick on this season.

Winning over 7 furlongs in novice company as a 2 year old in convincing fashion, he then moved into group company but failed to justify favouritism.

His best run came when chasing home Native Trail in the Dewhurst to be 2nd. Rounding out the campaign with a lacklustre effort at the Breeders’ Cup.

Well beaten on return in the 2000 Guineas, he’ll have to improve bundles from that to get involved here.

After starting life with Ralph Beckett, Hello You won on her debut but couldn’t get the better of the talented Sandrine in higher contests after.

A switch to David Loughnane didn’t inspire a revival until scoring a group 2 over 7 furlongs at Newmarket with plenty in hand. A good run in the breeder’s cup over a mile rounded out a solid campaign.

Returning this season in the Nell Gwyn Stakes she ran well enough to be 3rd behind the eventual 1000 Guineas winner Cachet.

She shaped like a non stayer in the 1000 Guineas herself so going back down to 7 looks a smart move. She has to prove herself against the boys here though.

It took Find four attempts to break his maiden last season. Bumping into some good horses like New Science, Lusail and Bayside Boy, he finally scored over 7 furlongs at York with a dazzling display.

Rightfully moved up to listed company after that he looked well outclassed and only beat a single rival home. A last place in a handicap rounded out his season and he was gelded in the winter.

The gelding operation doesn’t look to have had the desired effect and he’s failed to land a blow this season too. Shaping best most recently over 7 furlongs in a handicap at Goodwood last time out. He has tons to find in this contest however.

Coming over from France, Toimy Son was a very busy juvenile last season and had seven outings.

Scoring twice over 6 furlongs in low level events on rain softened ground, he moved up in grade off the back of that and found himself well held.

Even tries at a mile towards the end of the season didn’t bring about the necessary improvement to get his head back in front.

Returning over 7 furlongs this season, he shaped really well to be 2nd on his seasonal debut and took a major step forward to score in listed company last time out.

He needs to improve again and to be involved here. Probably needs rain to be at his best.

A narrow winner on debut as a 2 year old, Alfailia struggled for form for the rest of the season. Being unable to shoulder a penalty for his first win in novice races he switched to handicap company.

Going close over 7 furlongs in a handicap he then found listed and group company too deep from him to be competitive.
However, returning this season over 7 furlongs in a handicap here at Ascot, he spreadeagled the field with ease despite a mark of 102.

He looks ready to go back up in grade and a winter under his belt has brought him along plenty. Likely to play a big part.

Taking two attempts to score his first win, Noble Truth built on experience for debut to score nicely at Newmarket over 7 furlongs.

Unable to handle group 3 company after that, he did find success at Doncaster to edge out Hoo Ya Mal by a nose. Just denied in France in group 1 company by Angel Bleu, his form has dipped off since.

Well beaten on his last outing as a juvenile and then coming 13th of 14 in the Saudi Derby, he looked to be struggling to show his talent again.

However, he bounced right back to take a listed race apart last time out at Newmarket over 7 furlongs.

He’s been gelded since and that might just eek out some more improvement.

Coming over from Ireland, Mise Le Meas has only been successful once in her career. Winning a maiden on her second career start over 7 furlongs at Gowran against her own sex.

Unable to successfully move up in grade after that she was beaten in group 2 and listed company.

Running in a handicap on her comeback she just failed to get the better of Red Heel as the two pulled well clear.

Thrown into group 3 company o her last outing she again looked outclassed against better fillies. Needs to prove herself against the boys and prove she’s of group quality.

After not showing a great deal as a 2 year old, Tuscan scored a novice over 7 furlongs but failed to shoulder his penalty on his next start.

Moved into listed company after that saw him well outclassed and looking well out of place.

He’s fared a little better this season. Winning on comeback in a conditions race over 7 furlongs, he was then seen in a class 2 event over a mile at Goodwood.

The trip seemingly getting the better of him he weakened out of it late on.

Coming back to 7 furlongs will suit but he looks to lack the class for a group 3.

A German raider for Peter Schiergen, Rocchigiani arrives here off the back of a decent 2nd in the German 2000 Guineas behind Maljoom.

The form of that wasn’t knocked when Maljoom ran a great race earlier in the week to be 4th in the St James’s Palace Stakes.

Previously as a 2 year old the son of Time Test looked decent and won a group 3 over 7 furlongs. He then wasn’t disgraced in a group one over the same trip but didn’t seem to handle heavy ground.

He didn’t quite get the mile last time out so coming back in trip shrouds suit.

Representing Henry De Bromhead, Star Girls Aalmal has only been seen four times in her career.

Debuting in a listed race, she wasn’t disgraced to only be beaten a couple of lengths into 6th. Dropped into a maiden after that she won with bundles in hand to score easily at Dundalk over 7 furlongs.

Winning again on comeback at Gowran with plenty in hand, she was pitched into the Irish 1000 Guineas subsequently. She ran well to be 4th but found her stamina letting her down late on.

Dropping in trip will suit and she has some smart form in the books.

Only seen once as a juvenile, Audience made a striking impression in winning easily over 7 furlongs.

Pitched into a conditions race on comeback this season. Sent off a short priced favourite she looked clear in the last furlong but was reeled in late on.

Sent off at a short price for her more recent outing she failed to shoulder a penalty in a novice race and again filled the 2nd spot.

She’s not showing enough recently to give her any real chance in this deeper contest but represents good connections and Ryan Moore takes the ride.

An unbeaten colt for Saeed bin Suroor, Monaadah made his debut in Meydan over 7 furlongs and looked highly talented when easily bounding clear of his rivals to justify favouritism.

Shouldering a penalty for that success in a novice race at Newcastle, he then managed to hold off his rivals at Kempton despite a double penalty.

He’s clearly improving at a rate of knots and looks likely to be good enough for this level.

An unbeaten colt out of Kingman for the Gosdens. Winning a novice as a 2 year old over 7 furlongs, he’s been kept at the same trip this season too.

Shouldering a penalty well at Salisbury he just managed to hold on from Taratari. Moved into handicap ranks off the back of that saw him defy a mark of 88 handily. Pulling clear with a rival who’s since gone on to score at listed level with plenty in hand.

His form looks solid and he’s improving. He looks capable of making the step up in grade for this.
