Alabama Whitman⁶²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: R Spencer| OR: 95| D

33/1

Flattered to deceive when fourth in the Albany Stakes on her second start but landed Carlisle novice contest nicely before fifth in French Group 3 (7f). Tough ask at this level.

Form: 2415

Blissful¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 99| D

13/2

Has taken time to come to hand but come of good lately, winning Tipperary maiden before narrow success in 7f Listed contest on Irish Champions Weekend. Has the scope to carry on improving and must be respected.

Cloak Of Spirits¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| BF| D

4/1

Landed hefty gamble when clear-cut winner on debut at Ascot (7f) but ran no sort of race when sixth in Group 2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster last time. May be forgiven for that effort as not her true running.

Form: 16

Daahyeh¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: R Varian| OR: 108| BF| C

11/8

Winner at this track on debut before landing the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f). Probably excelled her profile despite defeats the last twice, including narrow second in Moyglare Stakes last time. Still rates as an exciting prospect.

Festival Day¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| BF| D

7/1

Didn't get the run of the race when narrowly beaten on debut at Goodwood before scoring in fine style at Chepstow (7f) earlier this month. Looked a classy sort that day so worth a betting check.

Form: 21

Hot Touch⁷⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer

28/1

Just touched off on debut but made amends for that with nice victory in 6f contest at Kempton earlier this month. Will need more in this company but has the scope to improve.

Form: 21

Stylistique¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: R Varian| OR: 98| BF

14/1

Not won a race as of yet but confirmed progression with short-head defeat in 6f Doncaster nursery on latest start. This looks beyond her level though.

Form: 3242

Under The Stars¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tate| OR: 105

5/1

Shock winner of the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes in July before form levelled off in the Lowther and Moyglare Stakes the last twice. Place claims on best form but still unexposed at this trip.

Forecasts

Daahyeh (11/8), Cloak Of Spirits (4/1), Under The Stars (5/1), Blissful (13/2), Festival Day (7/1), Stylistique (14/1), Hot Touch (28/1), Alabama Whitman (33/1), Alash Orda (50/1)

DAAHYEH rates as one of the top juvenile fillies around this season and remained a classy prospect with her effort on Irish Champions Weekend. She stayed on well that day and the stamina-focused 7f should only help her excel further. Under The Stars was behind her in Ireland that day but kept on well when many would have faltered and is bred to get this kind of trip, while the likes of Festival Day and Cloak Of Sprits remain unexposed and a bred to be performers at this level.
