Breton Belle¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: D M Simcock

20/1

Nathaniel filly, cost €55,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to Treat and has plenty of speed in her pedigree so perhaps not best suited to this test.

Form: 7

(8)

God Given²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani

15/8

Nathaniel filly and half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner Postponed. Fair efforts as a juvenile but lilkely to be better as she gets older and makes plenty of appeal in this line up.

Form: 33-

(6)

Kimene¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: W Stone

66/1

Aqlaam filly, cost 3,000 gns as a yearling and she showed nothing on debut on the AW. Looks sure to struggle in this contest.

Form: 0

(4)

Lagertha²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer

33/1

Oasis Dream filly and half-sister to Overpowered and Sovereign Power. Dam was a half-sister to a Group 3 winner so plenty to like on paper but rates the type to do better with time and looked clueless on debut.

Form: 0-

(3)

Marie Josephe¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

8/1

Cape Cross filly, half-sister to Queen Of Naples, placed in Group 2 company at three. Keen on debut but kept on well and was getting the hang of things late on. Should do better with that under her belt and market support would be interesting.

Form: 4

(9)

Miss Liguria²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: E Walker

20/1

Galileo filly who looks sure to enjoy this sort of test but showed very little on debut and yard have been quiet.

Form: 0

(7)

Really Super²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: R M Beckett

3/1

Cacique filly, half-sister to Gracious Journey. Improved a little for the step up in trip on second start and rates the type to do better over even further. Soft ground is a question mark but not ruled out.

Form: 4-4

(1)

Star Rock²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: H Morrison| OR: 80

15/8

Fastnet Rock filly who improved on her third start to finish runner-up behind a smart looking type at Newbury on reappearance. Entitled to come on for that and should go well provided she settles better.

Form: 45-2

Forecasts

Star Rock (15/8), God Given (15/8), Really Super (3/1), Marie Josephe (8/1), Miss Liguria (20/1), Breton Belle (20/1), Lagertha (33/1), Kimene (66/1), Brave Tart (66/1)

GOD GIVEN's pedigree suggests she will get better with age and there's every chance she could be a different prospect this season. Star Rock ran a nice race last time out and she could improve again while any market support for Richard Hughes' Marie Josephe could be significant after a promising run last time out.
