5/1
Impressive maiden winner at Naas before producing a smart effort at the Curragh last time behind her stablemate. Given some time to recover from that and likely to take another step forward; should run well given she's proven with cut in the ground.

16/1
Maiden winner at Ripon when green before producing a fine run when second of 10 in Listed company. Ran well in a Group 3 in France last time and form of that race looks rock solid. Doesn't always look straightforward but more improvement to come.

Ran well at Yarmouth on debut but didn't really improve for her second start at Kempton. Softer ground an unknown and yard have been a little quiet of late. Opposable with plenty to do on form.

Two-time winner on the AW but hasn't looked as effective on three turf starts. Plenty to find at this level and yard have been quiet; others preferred.

5/1
Stepped forward from her debut win over 6f here with an impressive Lingfield win last month, putting the race to bed with an impressive turn of foot. Should be more to come and this isn't the strongest Group 2 so no surprise to see her run well.

Smart effort on debut at Newcastle and followed that with an impressive effort at Chelmsford last time, coming from the back in impressive fashion at a course that doesn't suit hold up performers. Plenty more on her plate here on turf debut though.

9/1
Improving sort, justified favouritism at Thirsk before outrunning her odds over C&D last time when second of nine (third has come out and franked that form stateside). More needed here and will struggle to dominate from the front but not discounted.

4/1
Frankel filly, sister to Lightning Fast and dam a Group 1 Cheveley Park winner. Impressive winner of a valuable Leopardstown maiden on debut, with the front two pulling clear of the field and likely to take another step forward; interesting runner.

2/1
Game sort who has been in fine form this year, following up a fine effort in a Group 2 here over 6f with a win at Ascot in a Group 3. Didn't set a strong enough pace when third at Doncaster last time and worth giving another chance to back at 7f.

Ran okay here on debut but possibly the handle the track that well. Confirmed that promise when winning at Goodwood last time but not much to spare that day and needs plenty more here.

Forecasts

Nyaleti (2/1), Lightening Quick (4/1), Gavota (5/1), Butterscotch (5/1), Juliet Capulet (9/1), Capomento (16/1), Hikmaa (25/1), Elizabeth Bennet (33/1), Roulette (33/1), Club Tropicana (100/1)

Nyaleti has proven herself at this level, but with plenty of competition for the lead, it may be worth taking a chance on BUTTERSCOTCH who produced a fine effort behind stablemate Clemmie last time out and the fact she's been given a short break since should put her spot on for this assignment. Lightening Quick is an exciting prospect who won first time out in a decent Leopardstown maiden and Gavota is another with a completely unexposed profile. However, Capomento is preferred for the places after a fine run in Group company last time out and she gives the impression there's more to come.
  1. Butterscotch
