Concessions²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: R Hannon| D

7/1

Was a ready winner on debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last month. Stepped up on that, despite some trouble-in-running, when runner-up in the Listed Empress Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time. Likely to need further improvement here.

Form: 12

Dubai Fountain¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| D

2/1

Made a promising debut when scoring at Doncaster (7f, good) last month, and then made all to annihilate her field under a penalty at Haydock (7f, soft) last time. Looks a big player if she can step up again on that impressive effort.

Form: 11

(3)

Feathers³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| D

16/1

Zoffany filly who went off at 5-2 on debut at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last month, emerging an all out winner. Runner-up scored next time, which is a boost, though this filly is likely to need a big step up to add another win.

Form: 1

Fev Rover¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R A Fahey

9/4

Showed promise when runner-up on debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, and took a big step up on that when a head second in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (6f, soft) last time. Looks the one to beat on that form.

Form: 22

(6)

Setarhe³²

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

3/1

Made a winning debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month, and improved on that when 6L second in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. Has a fair bit to find with Fev Rover on a line through the winner, but is open to further improvement.

Form: 12

(7)

Spirit Of Sisra³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jane Elliott| T: Tom Dascombe| D

40/1

Stepped up significantly on her debut effort when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good) last month, but looks up against it in this field unless she can take another big step forward this time.

Form: 61

(4)

Star Of Emaraaty⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| D

28/1

Got off the mark at the third attempt with a slightly improved effort at Ayr (7f, good) last time, when the front pair were clear. Will need a lot more than that if she is to follow-up now trying her luck in pattern company.

Form: 201

Forecasts

Dubai Fountain (2/1), Fev Rover (9/4), Setarhe (3/1), Concessions (7/1), Feathers (16/1), Star Of Emaraaty (28/1), Spirit Of Sisra (40/1)

It is very hard to knock the Group 2 placed form of Fev Rover last time, but she has yet to get her nose in front, and after a vast improvement by DUBAI FOUNTAIN last time, perhaps she will suffer the same fate again here. Mark Johnston's filly was mightily impressive at Haydock, where she looked well up to this class and beyond. Setarhe looks next best.
