Enbihaar²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 108| BF| C

7/2

Course winner (Listed) earlier in the season and took her form to a new level when making it three wins from six starts in a Group 2 at Haydock last time out. Gives the impression a step up in trip could suit and hard to beat for a yard flying.

Form: 314-121

(7)

Dramatic Queen²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 107| D

4/1

Won a Group 3 at York over this trip before an excellent second to Enbihaar last time out. However, may struggle to reverse form with that rival a possible improver up in trip here.

Form: 411-812

(5)

Pilaster⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 102| CD

6/1

Looked like a very nice prospect when winning this race last year but it's fair to say she hasn't really gone on from that success. Well beaten behind some of these already this year and others make more appeal.

Form: 138-343

(6)

Flowering Peach⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S M Levey| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 88

33/1

Made it two wins from six starts this season at Killarney last month but was ensuring a strong pace for her stablemates last time at Leopardstown in Listed class and may be here to play a similar role this time.

Form: 615614

Manuela De Vega¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 108

7/2

Won each of her first two starts including a Listed race at Pontefract. Failed to build on promising efforts in the Cheshire Oaks and Epsom Oaks when a well beaten fifth in the Irish Oaks last time out. More needed.

Form: 11-245

(1)

Peach Tree¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 100| D

9/1

Group 3 winner at Leopardstown over this trip but well beaten in the Irish Oaks last time out. Should appreciate a step up in trip but has a fair bit to find on form here.

Form: 402016

(3)

South Sea Pearl⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 99| D

7/2

Maiden winner who finished behind Peach Tree in a Leopardstown Group 3 but improved to win a Listed race back at that venue last time out. First string on jockey bookings and should have more to give.

Form: 63141

Forecasts

Enbihaar (7/2), Manuela De Vega (7/2), South Sea Pearl (7/2), Dramatic Queen (4/1), Pilaster (6/1), Peach Tree (9/1), Flowering Peach (33/1)

There's little to separate ENBIHAAR and Dramatic Queen on their Haydock form from last time out but with the former likely to improve for a greater test of stamina, she's taken to crown an excellent week for her trainer John Gosden. Pilaster who won this last year could be best of the rest if she can return to that level of form. South Sea Pearl rates as a typical Aidan O'Brien improver who can go well.
