Won her maiden race well at Musselburgh beating Chattel Village by 1 ¾ lengths, before finishing a respectable eighth in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Her handicap debut run did not go as planned when eighth at York, but she remains with potential.

Trainer, Karl Burke has two runners in this race and this filly looks to be his best chance.

Yard has a good record in this (won the race twice since 2017) so she has to be respected.

Was a beaten odds on (8/11) favourite when running on debut in a four runner affair at Carlisle.

Has shown signs of improvement as he then went on to win a 6f York maiden in June and ran well despite taking a very keen hold in the Gimcrack there 3 weeks ago.

That looks solid form and should prove to be vital moving forwards so he has strong claims. May have an even bigger run in him, highly respected.

Charlie & Mark Johnston

Days: 49

This 2 year old daughter of Cracksman was an easy debut winner, winning at massive odds of 20/1 before showing major improvement to land a listed event at Sandown 49 days ago to make it 2-2.

Some ease in the ground would be somewhat of an unknown as her two wins so far have been on good ground.

More to come as she looks a very progressive type, so she is expected to put up a bold bid to extend her unbeaten record.

A worthy favourite.

She won her first 2 starts and was having only fifth start of career when landing a Group 1 at Ascot last October, beating the likes of Albaflora and the late Snowfall.

Ran with more promise on return effort at Newbury in May and then followed up with a third in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock in July.

Stepping up to 1m6f for the first time which should suit, so she holds strong claims on these terms.

This Group 1 winning filly has a big shout, sure to be in the mix.

Showed progressive form under a more positive ride when making final nursery start a winning one at Goodwood under Silvestre De Sousa in October.

Below his best in reappearance run and last time out during the spring.

Has been subsequently gelded since, so keep an eye out for any market support for this 3 year old son of Dark Angel.

May have an each way chance.
