(4)

Bronze Florin²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Pattinson

300/1

Started at odds of 150-1 when tailed off on debut at Lingfield (7f AW) four weeks ago; look elsewhere with immense confidence.

Form: 0

(9)

Coconut³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker

10/3

By Australia; kept on pleasingly (25-1) when second best to the John Gosden-trained Love And Thunder here (1m, good) five weeks ago; should relish this extra two furlongs.

Form: 2

(2)

Combine²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H Palmer| OR: 82

12/1

80,000gns yearling; has run to a similar level of form in both career starts, including when finishing a keeping on fourth (beaten 2L) to Dubai Quality at Kempton (1m) latest.

Form: 3-4

(6)

Cosmic Princess²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Morrison

6/1

By Kingman; made eye-catching late headway when finishing sixth (33-1) to the Roger Varian-trained Jaariyah on debut at Kempton (7f) last October; is closely related to the 2m AW winner Cogital.

Form: 6-

(11)

Dalhousie

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

40/1

By Golden Horn out of the US Gr 3 winner Dalvina (7f-1m4f); half-sister to Dal Harraild (1m-2m) and Dal Horrisgle (1m½f-1m2½f); one of three for William Haggas, so the market can offer an indicative guide to her chance.

Form:

(1)

Evening Verse¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: P R Webber

200/1

By Poet's Voice (€1,000 vendor yearling); hasn't shown much promise in two starts to date (Chelmsford and Windsor); simply can't be the solution on that basis.

Form: 05

(12)

Flippance¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A King

200/1

Tailed off (25-1) on debut at Kempton (1m3f) earlier this month, and therefore has a mountain to climb in order to turn the tables on La Dragontea (second) and Horn Of Plenty (third).

Form: 0

(14)

Horn Of Plenty¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

7/1

Experienced Golden Horn filly (75,000gns yearling); twice placed in recent weeks (1m2f-1m3f), including a related form line with La Dragontea; the BHA assessor probably has her about right with an opening mark of 77.

Form: 733

(7)

Jaaizah¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 80

11/4

Form: 42

(10)

La Dragontea¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: M L W Bell| OR: 90

5/1

By Lope De Vega; is improving steadily with racing, finishing just in front of Horn Of Plenty (third) when beaten 5L by Katara at Kempton (1m3f) earlier this month; was declared as a non-runner at Leicester (8.05pm) on Friday.

Form: 9-42

(3)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas

15/2

Third foal from the Listed-placed 1m juvenile winner Oojooba; half-sister to Sharamm (1m); should improve for the initial experience of her Doncaster (1m, good to firm) debut; stablemate of Dalhousie and Najima.

Form: 6

(5)

Najima

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: W J Haggas

33/1

By Camelot (cost 130,000gns as a yearling); second foal from a 7f winner who was a half-sister to the UAE/SA 1m4f Grp 2 scorer Front House; stablemate of Dalhousie and Midrarr; market helpful.

Form:

Progressive

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

28/1

By Nathaniel, and a seventh foal from a 1m winner (Graduation); winning siblings include Certificate (7f-1m) and Cline (1m); stablemate of the more experienced Jaaizah.

Forecasts

Jaaizah (11/4), Coconut (10/3), La Dragontea (5/1), Cosmic Princess (6/1), Horn Of Plenty (7/1), Midrarr (15/2), Combine (12/1), Progressive (28/1), Najima (33/1), Dalhousie (40/1), Rudaina (80/1), Evening Verse (200/1), Flippance (200/1), Bronze Florin (300/1)

William Haggas saddles a trio of runners, including newcomers Dalhousie and Najima. However, it is Ryan Moore who takes the mount aboard the Dubawi filly Midraar, and she is expected to improve considerably on her sixth-placed finish at Doncaster (strong race). Plenty of the others have previous history, with La Dragontea (second) and Horn Of Plenty (third) filling the minor places at Kempton, while COCONUT (second) and Jaaizah (fourth) also clashed over 1m here in June. Ed Walker's charge kept on pleasingly on that occasion (out-running her 25-1 odds), and on pedigree should relish every single hoof-print of this extra yardage.
