Chicago Doll²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 86

100/1

Fairly useful filly. 13/2, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) 25 days ago. Something to find at this level, though.

Form: 2-02332

Hereby³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| D

12/1

Heavy-ground listed winner at Ascot last autumn. Hasn't quite hit the same heights this year but latest Chester listed third was respectable.

Form: 111-333

(13)

La Lune¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: H Candy| OR: 95

18/1

Novice winner who was runner-up in Pontefract listed on reappearance in June. Creditable third to Urban Artist in Newmarket handicap (heavy) latest, caught too far back. Each-way claims.

Form: 61-203

(11)

Makawee²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 105| D

13/2

Consistent mare who was second in Lancashire Oaks at Haydock in July. Back to winning ways in small-field Goodwood handicap last month. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 235351

Miranda²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Megan Nicholls| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 89

33/1

Useful 3-time hurdle winner for current yard. No surprise to see her step up on previous Flat efforts in France on her first Flat start for this stable but a chunk of improvement needed to go close.

Nette Rousse^b³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

100/1

Pair of wins last year but has come up short at listed level on all 3 outings this year. Others more obvious.

Form: 815-547

(3)

Traisha^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 104

4/1

Progressive since coming over from France to join Joseph O'Brien, including a second in Naas Group 3 over this trip (soft) in August. Seemingly stretched by 2m in Curragh Group 3 since. Big player.

Form: 32-1326

(8)

Tribal Craft²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 93

50/1

Useful filly. Latest win at Kempton in July. 5½ lengths second of 3 to Makawee in handicap (7/2) at Goodwood (14f, soft) 21 days ago.

Form: 7-21842

(7)

Urban Artist¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 96

10/3

Listed bumper winner who is improving fast on the Flat, posting a useful effort to take Newmarket handicap (La Lune behind in third) 11 days ago. Should relish 1¾m. Can make presence felt up in class.

Form: 4111

(10)

Vivionn³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 102

9/2

Useful filly. Good 1½ lengths second of 7 to Pista in Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster (14.5f, good, 6/1) 34 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 422-322

(4)

Born With Pride⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100

10/1

Useful filly. Good 4½ lengths fifth of 8 to Wonderful Tonight in Prix Minerve at Deauville (12.4f, soft, 54/10) 59 days ago. Remains fairly unexposed after only 4 starts.

Form: 1-745

(12)

Delta's Royalty³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 82

20/1

Fairly useful form in just 4 starts but she'll need to improve a fair bit for the longer trip to get heavily involved here.

Form: 1-253

(2)

Dhabyah^b1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas| OR: 90| BF

25/1

Debut winner but hasn't really built on that when beaten at short odds on both outings since. Early days but will need to advance her form considerably to go close. Blinkered first time.

Form: 122

(14)

Utile²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer

9/1

Frankel filly who made a promising winning debut at Kempton (11f) last month. Up significantly in trip. This clearly a jump in class but there's surely more to come.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Urban Artist (10/3), Traisha (4/1), Vivionn (9/2), Makawee (13/2), Utile (9/1), Born With Pride (10/1), Hereby (12/1), La Lune (18/1), Delta's Royalty (20/1), Dhabyah (25/1), Miranda (33/1), Tribal Craft (50/1), Nette Rousse (100/1), Chicago Doll (100/1)

This prize can go to Ireland for the second time in the last 3 years courtesy of TRAISHA, who didn't stay 2m last time and holds leading form claims on her second in a Naas Group 3 over this trip prior to that. The fast-improving Urban Artist should be well suited by the step up to 1¾m and heads the dangers along with Park Hill runner-up Vivionn.
