Dandy Alys won at the third time of asking at Nottingham last time out. She had previously raced twice over six furlongs, but she dropped back in trip to five to score at Nottingham. Now upped again to seven furlongs, the question has to be stamina.
She showed plenty speed last time out and I’m not entirely sure the seven furlongs will suit here. Easy to dismiss.
Winner of a fair novice at Haydock on debut before finishing fifth of ten last time out at Sandown in the Star Stakes. She was well beaten in the Star Stakes, but in all fairness she’s probably ran to a better level than a lot of these. She stays this trip and she’s well bred.
She’ll need to improve to win but she’s as good a chance as any in what looks a tricky puzzle.

Clearly still green when third on debut in a decent looking fillies’ novice at Haydock. She improved upon that on her next start at Lingfield when bolting up by six lengths in a maiden.
She ran with huge amounts of credit last time out in the Chesham against the colts too, when finishing third at odds of 33/1.
She is improving with her racing and she’s by a sire who’s really hit the ground running with his two year olds. Top chance.

Divina Grace was second to a good filly on debut, who was subsequently just touched off in a listed race. Divina Grace made no mistake last time out when taking a course and distance maiden in gutsy fashion.
She showed a good attitude there, and with improvement again expected, she could surprise a few.
Ivory Madonna is still a maiden, though she’s placed in every effort so far. Her best form would be the second of her three runs when she placed a solid third behind Meditate in the G3 Albany stakes at Royal Ascot.
However, she was fully entitled to win next time up back in a maiden but was again ran out of things in the business end of the race.
She has some of the best form but she really should have been winning last time out.

Winner on debut at Newbury before finishing a good third when upped in class at Sandown in the Star Stakes. She was well beaten into third there, but you can maybe upgrade the performance slightly, given how poorly the stable were operating at the time.
She is a nice filly who’s done nothing wrong. She’s hard to rule out.
Alseyoob is from a good family, and she made the best start possible when winning a maiden over course and distance. She made all that day, and she was always in command.
She looked to have a fairly professional attitude there and she knew her job. If she improves again she could be in with a big shout.
Winner on debut at Ffos Las at odds of 20/1. She impressed that day, she travelled with authority and knuckled down nicely to win by a length from Almutawakel in second.
The form doesn’t look overly strong but she did nothing wrong and she’s entitled to improve.
Lope De Vega filly who won on debut at Doncaster over today’s trip. She won in good style there, from the well fancied Crackovia well beaten into second.
She caught the eye there and she travelled oh so well throughout. She should improve again and she took a fair scalp on debut. Hugely interesting.
