Billesdon

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: M Madgwick

40/1

First foal; dam related to some middle distance winners; stable not known for its two-year-olds and looks the type to do better in time.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: R M H Cowell

14/1

Son of smart 6f performer Intrinsic out of a dam who didn't win during her racing career. slowly into stride and ran green before making some late minor headway on debut at Windsor earlier this month. Entitled to improve.

Form: 7

Maystar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson

2/1

Well-bred interesting newcomer from a yard who does well at this track; tough ask on his debut against more experienced rivals but worth a market check.

Claudia Jean¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Hannon

20/1

Well beaten third on debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) before finishing down the field at Windsor in July. Might be slowly getting the hang of things and can't be easily discounted.

Jane Victoria¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Elliott| T: A West

50/1

Improved slightly on debut run at Newbury when finishing a well beaten third of five at Bath two weeks ago. Entitled to improve but may not be up to winning this.

Oribi¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas

14/1

Well backed on debut at Newmarket (6f) but faded close home. Slight improvement at Kempton next time out but will need to show plenty more to get in contention.

Form: 79

Partridge³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 79

4/7

Followed up two second places at Salisbury and Haydock when never on terms in a Group 2 contest at Royal Ascot. This looks a very decent opportunity to break her maiden tag.

Form: 220

Forecasts

Partridge (4/7), Maystar (2/1), Cool Sphere (9/4), Instantly (14/1), Oribi (14/1), Claudia Jean (20/1), Billesdon (40/1), Jane Victoria (50/1)

The progressive PARTRIDGE can finally notch up a deserved victory after picking some place money and not being disgraced in Group company at Royal Ascot. She is closely matched with Cool Sphere on that Ascot run and while more exposed than his rival is still probably open to more improvement. Any market support for Maystar would signal connections believe their charge has every chance on his racecourse debut. Claudia Jean is slowly getting the hang of things and can not be easily ruled out.
