Dandy's Beano^h⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| CD

80/1

Is on for a hat-trick bid here following wins at Newcastle (5f) on the AW and Ayr (5f). Having her first shot at a Listed race but she deserves her chance following a good run of form. Will need to produce a career best.

Form: 851511

Fairy Falcon^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 99| D

20/1

Her sole success came at Thirsk (5f) in August 2018. She produced her best run of the season last time when she was third of 10 at Beverley (5f) in a Listed race. A repeat of her latest effort gives her an each-way chance.

Form: 5-43843

Fool For You³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89| CD

20/1

Scored on the AW at Newcastle (5f) three runs ago but has been unable to follow that up in two outings since then. She was 15th of 22 on her latest appearance at York (5½). Needs to improve on what he shown so far to be in the mix.

Form: 603190

Gold Filigree^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 96| D

28/1

Her most recent success coming at Ripon (6f) back in May. Has performed modestly well at this level in her last three starts, including latest at Tipperary (5f) when she was fifth of 12. Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Others are preferred.

Form: 198345

(12)

Heavenly Holly^t1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: H Palmer| OR: 95

10/1

Has three wins on the AW but is yet to score to on turf in six attempts. She was fifth of 14 on her latest bid in a Listed race at Baden-Baden (7f). Has a tongue-tie on for the first time and is down in trip. Needs to improve on this surface.

Form: 138565

Raincall³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: H Candy| OR: 74| D

50/1

In good form at the moment with two wins coming from her last three starts. She was successful at Salisbury (6f) last time in an eight runner field. Taking a big step up in class now so will need to produce more.

Form: 46-4141

Deia Glory²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 93| D

25/1

Has not prevailed since scoring at Catterick (5f) in July 2018. Has not been too far away in all four of her Listed attempts this season, with her latest effort coming at Tipperary (5f) where she was fourth of 12. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 9-46564

(7)

Inspired Thought^p⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 91| D

28/1

Won at Ffos Las (6f) on her penultimate appearance in a four runner contest. She then finished fourth of 13 at Hoppergarten (6f) in a Listed race, beaten 2¾L. Needs to improve if she is to be competitive here.

Lady In France⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 94| D

12/1

Lightly-raced filly who has appeared just three times so far. She broke her maiden on her debut at Newcastle (5f) on the AW. Has performed well in two Listed races since. Open to improvement so she has each-way claims.

Form: 124

Last Empire⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 91| D

11/2

Has won all three of her races this year, with all of her success coming at Hamilton over 6f. She scored by 4½L last time in an emphatic victory. Deserves her shot in a Listed race. Worth considering.

Form: 3-111

(20)

Probability²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: A Watson| OR: 88| D

33/1

Recorded four wins on the AW earlier this year and then scored at Chester (6f) on turf in May. Her form since then has been mixed. Could only finish ninth of 17 in a Listed contest at Naas (6f) last time. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 514927

(2)

Que Amoro^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 98| D

5/1

Has been successful in both of her last two races, with her latest victory coming over the extended 5f trip in a 19 runner handicap contest at York. She was staying on strongly at the finish last time. Worth consideration here.

Form: 8-03411

Red Impression¹²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Adam J McNamara| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 94| BF| DWS

9/2

Was victorious twice last season on the AW but she has been unable to add to her tally in 2019 so far. She was fifth of 12 last time in a Listed contest at Newbury (6f). Has had wind surgery since so she may produce more now. One to respect.

Form: 11-35

(18)

Reticent Angel^p⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: C G Cox| OR: 91| D

66/1

Is 0-7 on turf but did win twice on the AW last year. Produced a career a best two runs ago when she was third of eight in a Listed race at Sandown (5f). Was disappointing on her latest appearance at Deauville (6f). Needs to improve.

Form: 384339

Signora Cabello^b⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 106| D

16/1

Prevailed four times last season in an impressive novice campaign, with the highlight being her victory in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot. She was ninth of 12 in the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes last time. Big player at this level.

Form: 120-479

Woody Creek⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| OR: 102| D

4/1

Two-time winner who has gone close in her last three starts, finishing second in each other those, including latest appearance at the Curragh in a Group 3 contest, going down by just a neck. One to consider.

2018 Queen Mary Stakes winner SIGNORA CABELLO has yet to prevail this year but she has been running at a much higher level than this. A return to Listed company makes her the one to beat here as she is likely to have too much class for her rivals if she is at her best. Woody Creek has not been far away in each of her last three runs and she should once again be in contention at the finish, while Last Empire looks capable of hitting the frame at this level following her impressive win at Hamilton last time out.
