Ajrar¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89

50/1

Won AW debut and was then Listed second at two but struggled afterwards to back that form up with a second at Kempton in a novice contest her only other placing. This looks a tall order on evidence so far.

Baba Ghanouj¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker

6/1

Well related filly by Sea The Stars clearly improved plenty on her debut fourth at Newmarket when winning impressively at Wolverhampton in November. Bred to excel this season so one for the shortlist here.

Form: 41-

Fashion's Star²²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

9/2

€400,000 yearling by Sea The Stars made a big impression last September when a well-backed debut winner at Newbury. Went into the notebook as a real smart prospect that day and certainly rates a leading contender here.

Form: 1-

Hidden Message²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Haggas| BF

5/1

Twice-race daughter of Scat Daddy made a hugely impressive debut at Yarmouth which lead to her being favourite next up in a Group Three but she proved disappointing there. Sure that wasn't her true running and far from ruled out here.

Form: 15-

(5)

Modern Millie¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon

20/1

Sixties Icon filly was well backed when landing a Leicester maiden in October and far from disgraced next when sixth of 15 in a Newbury Group Three. Clearly held in high regard and has some of the most persuasive form on offer here.

Form: 1-6

(6)

Muchly¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

9/1

Newbury winner at two was eighth of 15 at the same venue subsequently which saw her finish behind the less experienced Modern Millie. Reversal then may seem unlikely but given connections it would be foolish to rule her out.

Form: 31-8

(3)

Queen Power²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/8

500.000 daughter of Shamardal made a winning start in a back-end Newmarket maiden with most of the big yards represented when trained by Ralph Beckett. Second and third won next so form already looks strong and leading contender here.

Form: 1-

Quick¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

33/1

Olympic Glory, she was a relatively cheap purchase at 13,000gns yet made an impressive start at Newbury just last month. One of three for her trainer here so market can guide against more experienced stablemates.

Form: 1

Model Guest^p²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: G G Margarson| OR: 96

33/1

Maiden but four times placed at two including Newmarket Group Three third and ended season with staying on fourth in Newmarket Group Two. Has some of the best form despite maiden status so worthy of respect here.

Forecasts

Queen Power (11/8), Fashion's Star (9/2), Hidden Message (5/1), Baba Ghanouj (6/1), Muchly (9/1), Aim Power (12/1), Modern Millie (20/1), Model Guest (33/1), Quick (33/1), Ajrar (50/1)

FASHION'S STAR looked every inch a potential Group horse when impressively winning on debut at Newbury last September beating more experienced rivals with plenty in hand. She ought to progress well this season and is fancied here despite plenty of similarly smart unexposed sorts in opposition. Chief among those is Sir Michael Stoute's Queen Power who Silvestre De Sousa prefers to Aim Power and this filly impressed plenty in her lone two-year-old start also. Hidden Message disappointed in her second start but that was when favourite in a Group race, her debut win can't easily be forgotten.
