6/1
Looked a decent sprinter in the making with a convincing win at Chepstow making it two from three. She was well backed and showed considerable improvement there and while this is tougher she should be up to the task.

Steps back from Listed company having not been disgraced in a strong renewal of the Marygate at York and a second behind a smart type in the Empress over the C&D. That sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

15/2
Likeable daughter of Sir Prancealot who has really kicked on in her last two runs, winning twice including in the Weatherbys Super Sprint. Ran on strongly so this extra furlong should be fine and can be involved..

Found life tough at Royal Ascot but ran a good sixth in the Weatherbys Super Sprint. She had to give Ginger Nut 5lb so capable of reversing the form but has to see out the extra furlong.

Daughter of Society Rock who has won both starts to date in lesser company. This is tougher but she improved from first to second start and no reason why she shouldn't be up to this level.

Has had some stiff tasks and gets a welcome drop back to handicap company. This still looks tough and has a bit to find with Strings Of Life from her last run over this C&D.

Took a big step forward from her first three starts when showing a smart turn on foot to break through in novice company. Looks on a decent mark with improvement to come and should be competitive.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-10| J: J P Spencer| T: M L W Bell| OR:  78| D
8/1
Took another step forward when breaking through on her handicap debut and 7lb rise shouldn't be a problem. Will improve again when she settles better and this strongly run 6f should suit. Another who should be involved.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: R A Fahey| OR:  78| D

Improved nicely in her first three starts culminating in a battling front running success. Needs to improve on her handicap debut second and will be tough to make all against some smart types.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Tom Clover| OR:  77

Represents last year's winning stable but her well beaten run in the Empress Stakes over the C&D leaves her with plenty to find in this company.

Ran a good fifth behind Ginger Nut in the Weatherbys Super Sprint on just her third start. Was making late progress and probably just found the trip too sharp. Had previously won over this trip and could well reverse the form.

Laxmi21
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-5| J: Liam Jones| T: B J Meehan| OR:  73

Probably found the extra furlong against her last time and the drop back to this trip should be ideal. Has run behind some smart types so far and although this is another tough ask on handicap debut could easily be involved.

Made it two wins in a row with a commanding handicap debut at Thirsk. Seemed to appreciate the step up to this distance but this company will be tougher off a 7lb higher mark.

Up 5lb for handicap debut success when running on strongly to beat Prairie Spy (third). This is significantly tougher and it may be that we see the very best of her over further in time.

Cookupastorm was just in front of Snazzy when fifth to Ginger Nut in the Super Sprint but she may be the one to take out of the race with this extra furlong likely to suit her the most. STRINGS OF LIFE represents powerful connections who are enjoying a wonderful season and her Listed second over the C&D represents a strong level of form and there will also be more to come when she settles better. Thriving also runs for a leading trainer whose horses only tend to improve with experience. A number of others have to be respected in a very open and competitive contest with Laxmi likely to provide some value at the odds.
