Selected odds by:
Likeable mare who progressed again in handicaps last year, winning twice at 10f. Arrives on the back of a good second in a 10.2f handicap here last time but a lot on her plate up at this level.
Won 3 of her first 5 starts last year. Not disgraced in face of some stern assignments so far this campaign, 7 lengths fourth in a 10.2f listed event here latest. Improvement required.
Sea The Stars filly who ended last term with a career-best display to score at Salisbury (12f) 12 months ago, suited by the emphasis on stamina. Still low mileage and there may yet be more to come.
Deservedly got her head back in front when bagging a French listed race last July. Busy season likely caught her out in Group 3 final start but she may lack the potential of a few here.
Progressive filly who signed off last term with a solid second in this race 12 months ago. Good third in Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes on return at Haydock (11.6f) and likely player in this field.
Fairly useful form when successful on debut at Haydock (10f) in June and emerged with plenty of credit in finishing second in Grp 3 Musidora here next time. Clearly a bright prospect and more to come.
Useful filly who stepped up plenty to land back-to-back handicaps at around 10f (including here) in July. Creditable second in a Salisbury listed event (10f) has followed and fancied to go well again
Suited by marked increase in trip when landing an 11.6f Haydock handicap in June. Excelled herself when fourth in Ribblesdale next time but unable to figure in Epsom Oaks since. This less demanding.
Winner at Newbury (10f) in June and left her effort in the Oaks in her wake when runner-up in a 10.2f listed event here in July, albeit outbattled by Franconia. Still, a repeat gives her sound claims.
Quickly reached a useful level without getting her head in front, much improved (well backed) when second in a 12f listed event at Newbury last month.

A winner on debut at Haydock, ALBAFLORA improved again when runner-up in the Musidora here last month, arguably emerging as the best long-term prospect in the field behind one who had the run of things on the day. She looks sure to improve further and earns the vote with 1½m sure to suit. Last year's runner-up Vivionn is a player also, along with Sea of Faith and Award Scheme.
