Banmi¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak

14/1

Big odds for both starts, and left debut effort well behind when a creditable third of 12 to Governor of Punjab in a 7f novice at Chelmsford last time. Runner-up has won since, and unwise to write her off at this level.

Form: 03

(6)

Cressida

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Full-sister to 1m-1m3f winner Eye Contact and smart 1m winner Grand Jete out of 1m Group 2 winner in France. Bred in the purple, and respected for all top yard has yet to hit top gear with its 2-y-o's.

Form:

(2)

Divine Connection

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

16/1

Cable Bay half-sister to 1m winner Joe The Beau and 5f-7f winner Creative Genius. Yard yet to hit the target with juveniles this term, and others more appealing on paper.

Form:

(1)

Dramatista

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

11/4

Lope de Vega half-sister to 1m winner Jumira Prince and 1m½f-1½m winner Dr Richard Kimble, out of G1 Premio Lydia Tesio winner Aoife Alainn. Yard 11-24 with 2-y-o runners on AW this year, so this newcomer commands maximum respect.

Lily Bonnette⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden

125/1

3,000 gns half-sister to a couple of winners including the Italian 7½f-1m2f scorer Bohemian Symphony. Showed absolutely nothing on debut at Newmarket in May, and impossible to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 0

(8)

Ride And Prejudice⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden

125/1

Daughter of Casamento who showed some ability on debut here in April despite finishing last, but went backwards when a well-held fifth of 6 at Bath next time, and makes little appeal now.

Form: 55

(4)

Wasaayef

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

3/1

Kingman half-sister to 1¼m winner Whimbrel out of a winning half-sister to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Nightime. Cost 580,000 gns as a yearling, and is a stablemate of Cressida, so market is sure to be revealing.

Form:

(3)

Willa⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

2/1

By Dutch Art out of a middle-distance Fibresand winner. Better effort to date when second of 9 to Picture Frame in a 7f novice at Newbury last time. Should do better again.

Form: 82

Forecasts

Willa (2/1), Dramatista (11/4), Wasaayef (3/1), Cressida (9/2), Banmi (14/1), Divine Connection (16/1), Ride And Prejudice (125/1), Lily Bonnette (125/1)

John Gosden has had just one 2-y-o winner so far this year, but he unleashes a couple of likely sorts here in the shape of Cressida and Wasaayef. The market will help separate the pair, but no such clues are needed with DRAMATISTA, who hails from a yard whose AW debutants are rarely anything other than fully clued up, and she is the choice in the absence of betting intelligence.
