Haykal²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| D

12/1

Upped markedly in trip and different proposition from her debut when scoring cosily in novice at Wolverhampton last time. Open to further progress but giving weight away all round.

Form: 8-1

(7)

Divine Comedy²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: C F Wall

40/1

Down the field at Wetherby 20 days ago, looking more one for the longer term.

Form: 0

(2)

Golden Bugle³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden

16/1

Well-bred filly who shaped with promise amidst inexperience when fifth in maiden at Newcastle last month. Needs a big step up if she's to open her account at the second attempt, though.

Form: 5

(3)

Golden Wattle¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods

80/1

Bred to do better further down the line but hard to fancy based on the limited amount she showed on debut at Lingfield recently.

Form: 5

(1)

Mellow Magic¹³

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

5/6

Shaped well at Newbury on debut then didn't get the rub of the green when a staying-on second in a maiden at Salisbury 13 days ago. Worth another chance to open her account.

Form: 32

(8)

Moonlit Night¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

50/1

Sea The Stars filly who hasn't offered much encouragement as yet. Probably more of a handicap type.

Form: 0-9

(6)

New Exceed⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: C Appleby

7/2

Has looked well forward and showed a good level of form when runner-up on both outings to date. Bred to be suited by this sort of trip, so should give another good account.

Form: 22

(4)

Sayyida²²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 76

4/1

Dubawi filly who was more clued up and left debut form behind when runner-up at Nottingham 7 months ago. Trip will suit and stable should have her ready, so one to consider.

Form: 52-

Forecasts

Mellow Magic (5/6), New Exceed (7/2), Sayyida (4/1), Haykal (12/1), Golden Bugle (16/1), Divine Comedy (40/1), Moonlit Night (50/1), Golden Wattle (80/1)

MELLOW MAGIC has the best form and, having been unlucky in running at Salisbury last time, she remains with potential, so she's preferred to New Exceed, who has looked professional on both career starts so far. Sayyida and Haykal are also open to further improvement.
