Final Song²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 105| D

14/1

Won Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan in March and second in Al Quoz Sprint on her next start. Failed to translate that form back to these shores and now has a lot to prove.

Form: 621290

Declaring Love⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: J Butler| OR: 97| D

10/1

Proving a real success story for new yard this year, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when landing Bath listed event (5f) in April. Another sound effort when fourth in Group 2 company at Haydock.

Form: 6-14114

(4)

Onassis²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 107

15/2

Likeable filly who won 3 times at up to listed level in a productive 2020 campaign. Shaped better than end result suggests at Royal Ascot back from 8 months off.

Form: 17416-0

(7)

Queen Kahlua⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: S C Williams| OR: 88

100/1

Yet to match her French form in a trio of outings for Stuart Williams and a big career best is required on these terms.

Form: 016-466

(3)

Dandalla²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 102| D

5/1

Triple-winner as a juvenile, including the Albany. Low-key start to 3-y-o campaign, albeit Commonwealth Cup run was more like it.

Form: 115-764

(11)

Dexter Belle⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| OR: 90| D

14/1

Speedily-bred filly who confirmed the promise of her sole 2-y-o run when landing a few bets at Pontefract on reappearance. Shaped quite well in 5f listed race here in May and return to 6f will suit.

Form: 7-13

(6)

Light Refrain²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 106| D

7/2

Good test at 6f suited her when well prepared to land 6f listed race in the mud at Nottingham in May. Sound fourth in a better race a fortnight later and big player if casting aside Jersey run.

Form: 212-140

(10)

Mo Celita²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Hamilton| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 91| BF| D

16/1

Massive success story for this yard, completing 5-timer with dominant display from the front at Haydock (6f). Cracking effort at Ascot latest and worth a shot at this level.

Form: 111115

(5)

Vadream²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 106| D

15/8

Looked good when making a winning start with plenty in hand at Newcastle in November. Travelled with purpose all 3 starts in Group company this year over 7f/1m and return to this trip may unlock more.

Form: 1-363

(9)

Ventura Diamond³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 100| D

28/1

Useful filly who didn't seem to handle the bend when well held at Musselburgh a month ago. Can bounce back, but limit is established.

Form: 11-8320

Forecasts

Vadream (15/8), Light Refrain (7/2), Dandalla (5/1), Onassis (15/2), Declaring Love (10/1), Last Empire (10/1), Final Song (14/1), Dexter Belle (14/1), Mo Celita (16/1), Ventura Diamond (28/1), Queen Kahlua (100/1)

VADREAM has travelled like a smart filly over longer trips this season and with this drop back to 6f looking a good move, she could be the answer. Light Refrain was disappointing in the Jersey but is a big player on her efforts in the mud prior to that, with Dexter Belle one to consider at longer odds.
