Ifyoudontmind¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: Rae Guest

66/1

Improved on debut effort when 7L sixth of 9 to Fizzy Feet in minor event at Wolverhampton last time, but plenty more required to get competitive here.

Form: 76

Heidiava^h1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: J Hughes

100/1

Captain Gerrard filly who fetched 12,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a couple of winners. Well beaten on both starts to date, racing keenly. Hood tried now, but plenty to prove.

Form: 78

(8)

King's Girl¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Sir Michael Stoute

6/5

KIngman half-sister to 1m winner Baynunah and 7f/1m winner Tegara out of a well-related 6f winner. Shaped well after a slow start when 1L fourth of 10 to Firelight at Newmarket, and sure to improve on that initial effort.

Form: 4

(6)

Lucky Charm²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: C F Wall

8/1

Charm Spirit filly who needed the experience on debut, but fared better when 1¾L third of 7 to Heartwarming in maiden at Sandown last time (Winter Light second). Solid place claims with further improvement possible.

Form: 53

(5)

Melya^h1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole

50/1

Has shaped as if still learning on both starts so far, most recently when 8L fourth of 6 to Good Luck Fox in a Sandown novice. Hood fitted now, and may do better, but she will have to.

Form: 84

(3)

Starchant²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 74

12/1

Placed twice in novices at Windsor in June/July, but below that form next time. Easy to excuse latest flop in Group company at Goodwood, but beginning to look exposed now.

Winter Light¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

5/4

Well-related filly who has shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up in maidens at Sandown and Newbury to date, and will take the beating with a reproduction of either of those efforts.

Form: 22

Forecasts

King's Girl (6/5), Winter Light (5/4), Lucky Charm (8/1), Starchant (12/1), All Back To Mine (16/1), Melya (50/1), Ifyoudontmind (66/1), Heidiava (100/1)

WINTER LIGHT showed some improvement when second again at Newbury last time, but in truth, even a reproduction of her debut effort would probably be enough to see her off the mark in this weaker event, unless King's Girl shows significant improvement on her initial effort at Newmarket, which was certainly full of promise. Lucky Charm did better than on debut when just behind the selection at Sandown, and completes the shortlist.
