Selected odds by:
Helmet filly whose only previous start came in April 2018 for Robyn Brisland when showing modest form. Long absence to overcome and makes debut for new connections. Probably do better once going handicapping.
Dawn Approach filly who was friendless in market on Kempton debut but stayed on steadily having missed the break and is open to improvement now. Yard in good form and step up in trip looks the right call.
Superb pedigree by Sea The Stars out of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Gossamer. Half-sister to Group 1 winner Gossiping and very much looks the part on paper. Top yard continues in fine form so has to be on the shortlist.
Iffraaj filly who failed to make it to the racecourse for Andrew Balding and showed moderate form when seventh of 10 at Lingfield earlier this month on debut for current yard. Plenty to do and may need more time.
Sold €65,000 as a yearling but this daughter of No Nay Never was resold for just £1000 in July to join current yard. Makes racecourse bow and will probably learn plenty from this first outing.
Denounce filly who has shown very little ability in two appearances so far over a mile and the step up in trip is unlikely to see her improving enough to figure here.
£1600 Pastoral Pursuits filly out of speedy dam who won at up to 6f. Half-sister failed to reach a place in four starts. Expected to need more time.
Daughter of Teofilo makes her racecourse bow here for yard that does well with its fillies. Dam won over a mile as a juvenile so should stay this trip. Worth a market check for any interest first time out.
Twice-raced daughter of Intello out of dam who won at up to 1m3f. Showed a little improvement from first to second start without ever threatening principals. Hard to see her figuring at this level.
Very well bred daughter of Bated Breath. Is half-sister to Group 1 winner African Rose. Cost 120,000 euros as a yearling. Went close here over C&D last time and on that effort has to rate among the leading contenders.
By Dawn Approach, sold for 45,000gns as a yearling. Very easy in the market and hasn't shown a great deal in two starts so far. Open to improvement for top yard, but has plenty to find from poor draw.
Lawman filly who didn't show too much on debut then appeared not to stay when well beaten over 1m4f at Thirsk last time. Drops back down in trip but looks type who will be placed to advantage once establishing herself in handicaps

Forecasts
Orchidia (11/10), Finespun (15/8), Early Riser (5/1), Storm Approaching (20/1), Kelis (20/1), Mystic Dragon (25/1), Mercury Dime (50/1), Bescaby (50/1), Fire Island (66/1), Kiraleah (66/1), Strictly Legal (66/1), Dolly Clothespeg (66/1), Kira's Star (200/1)
More quantity than quality here but the two standard candidates are Orchidia and FINESPUN. Preference is for the classically bred latter who makes her racecourse debut for a top yard and wouldn’t have to be top class to start with a victory. Orchidia is a big danger though having gone close here over C&D last time and she should give the selection a proper test. Early Riser showed promise on debut and will win races, while newcomer Mercury Dime looks best of the rest.
