Selected odds by:
A maiden after four runs but she put up a big career best in the Group 3 Albany here last time out, improving for the step up in trip and beating all those who raced far side. Could still have more to give.
Very green on Newbury debut but got the hang of things late on to finish runner-up and she bolted up at Lingfield subsequently on AW. More needed against these rivals but fair each-way claims up in class.
Impressive when winning on debut at Windsor on soft ground and produced a fair effort when ninth of 25 in the Albany last time (Aroha third). Still seemed to be learning on the job but will need to improve here.
Winner of a fillies' event on debut at Nottingham and produced a respectable seventh of 25 in the Queen Mary last time out. This probably isn't much easier but she should still have more to give with the step up in trip likely to suit.
Confirmed the promise of her debut run with a win at Salisbury and too her form to a new level when winning a Listed race at York last time out. One that might not want any rain to come but she's worthy of respect.
Impressive when winning at Beverley and the runner-up from that race went on to place in the Super Sprint at Newbury. Could improve for the step up in trip and yard do well with their sprinters. Interesting contender with Dettori booked.
Bated Breath half-sister to useful 2yo 6f-1m1f winner Nate The Great. Dominated from the front on debut at Newbury and yard enjoying a fine season with their juveniles. Respected up in class.
Kingman filly, unbeaten in two starts. Improved from her four runner Yarmouth success to win in Listed class at Newmarket. That form hasn't been done any favours since but she couldn't have won more impressively and warrants respect.
Night Of Thunder filly who overcame some trouble in running to win at Ripon on debut. Yard going well at present and they do well with their juveniles; another who could go well.

Forecasts
Summer Romance (4/5), Ultra Violet (5/1), Dark Lady (8/1), So Sharp (8/1), Good Vibes (9/1), Punita Arora (10/1), Living In The Past (12/1), Flaming Princess (14/1), Aroha (16/1), Under The Stars (25/1), Diligent Deb (50/1), Applecross (66/1)
A very competitive opener to the card and while Summer Romance has shown plenty of ability in both her starts to date, it might be worth taking her on with the entirely unexposed ULTRA VIOLET. Ed Vaughan's filly won with any amount in hand on debut and she could be the value option against a likely odds-on favourite. There's a host of each-way chances but Living In The Past might be the one to side with given the booking of Ascot specialist Frankie Dettori in the saddle.
