Selected odds by:
€52,000 yearling, £58,000 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Papacito. Speedily bred and looked above average in making a winning start in 7-runner maiden (2/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 2 weeks ago. Will improve but needs to at this level.
|
£37,000 yearling, Tasleet filly. Half-sister to useful 6f winner Golden Warrior. Made winning start at Yarmouth in good style. Not seen to best effect in listed race at York before resuming winning ways at Carlisle. Could outrun odds.
|
Showcasing filly out of a 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m. Looked a fine prospect when winning 8-runner maiden at Newmarket (5f, good), clued up to a large extent though green when asked to win her race, still recording an outstanding timefigure for a debutante. High on shortlist.
|
Fairly useful maiden, placed all 4 starts, improved when dead-heating for second in 8-runner listed race at Chantilly 10 days ago. More needed again.
|
Improved from debut to win 7-runner maiden at Churchill Downs (turf) by 4¼ lengths, leading/disputing lead and drawing clear final 1½f. Should progress further.
|
£65,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 7f El Caballo. Knew job when making winning start at Salisbury but showed plenty of improvement to easily defy penalty at Windsor, reaching a level of form that puts her right in the picture with more improvement to come.
|
£38,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man filly. Sister to 6f winner Alphonse Karr and half-sister to 6f-1m winner Herbatka and 2-y-o 7f winner Mistrix. Knew her job and made a winning start in 9-runner maiden (16/1) at Catterick but much more on her plate now.
|
Built on debut promise when winning 13-runner maiden at Cork (5f, good) and followed up with a bit in hand at Tipperary 2 weeks ago. Further improvement is on the cards.
|
150,000Y Sister to useful winner up to 7f Maggies Angel (2-y-o 5f winner) and smart winner up to 1m San Andreas (2-y-o 6f winner). Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Put experience to good use when beating Pillow Talk by ½ length at Nottingham but 8 lengths behind that rival in listed race at York since.
|
€160,000Y by U S Navy Flag. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1½m Glorious Empire. Could hardly have made a more taking debut when making all in 12-runner maiden at Keeneland, having the race in the bag by halfway, Serious player for yard that has won this 4 times.
|
Winner all 3 starts in France, making all each time, notably listed event at Vichy last time. Open to further improvement but yet to race on going firmer than good to soft.
|
James Garfield filly who overcame greenness to land 15-runner maiden (10/1) at Thirsk and stepped up quite a bit when following up in listed race at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Not taken lightly.
|
Cost 100,000 gns at the breeze-ups and is a half-sister to 5f/6f winner Laubali and 2-y-o 5f winner Different Face. Dam 5f winner. Made a winning start in clear-cut fashion at Nottingham last month. Bare form looks ordinary, but she has potential.
|
€62,000 yearling, Cotai Glory filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including 7f/1m winner Eyes. Overcame greenness in the preliminaries to score with authority at Newmarket on debut. Excuses in listed event at York since and worth another chance.
|
460,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to winner up to smart winner up to 7f Society Power. Produced a promising first effort when neck second of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 2/1) but failed to build on that when filling the same spot at Navan. Others stronger.
|
75,000 gns yearling, 200,000 gns 2-y-o, Tasleet filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f A Momentofmadness and 2-y-o 7f winner Arc Royal. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Had the run of the race when making a winning debut over C&D last month and will find this much tougher.
|
£20,000 yearling, £100,000 2-y-o, Camacho filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7.5f Electrifying. Had a bit in hand when making a winning debut at Chelmsford but will find this a different kettle of fish.
|
Impressive when landing Beverley novice though limitations rather exposed since.
|
Beat 4 other newcomers when comfortably winning a 5f Carlisle novice (soft) 30 days ago. Plenty more required here.
|
57,000 gns 2-y-o. Cotai Glory filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 7f The Gold Cheongsam out of useful 1m-9.5f winner (stayed 1¾m) Fuerta Ventura. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Ripon 2 weeks ago, though that didn't look much of a race.
|
70,000 gns Dandy Man filly who confirmed debut promise when easily landing the odds in 4-runner novice at Pontefract, showing good speed. Improved again when only just edged out in listed event at York and unlikely to be far away.

Forecasts
Dramatised (5/2), Love Reigns (11/4), Yahsat (15/2), Maria Branwell (9/1), Katey Kontent (10/1), All The Time (12/1), Lady Tilbury (14/1), Manhattan Jungle (16/1), Carmela (20/1), Miami Girl (25/1), Maylandsea (28/1), Olivia Maralda (33/1), Grand Oak (33/1), One More Olly (40/1), Funny Money Honey (50/1), Omniqueen (66/1), The Platinum Queen (66/1), Queen Of Deauville (66/1), Lady Beano (80/1), Primrose Ridge (100/1), Lost Angel (100/1)
Plenty of potential as expected for a 2-y-o event at Royal Ascot but the 2 who have created the deepest impression are DRAMATISED and Love Reigns. The former posted an outstanding timefigure for a first-time-out filly at Newmarket and, at likely bigger odds, is narrowly preferred to Love Reigns, who could hardly have been more impressive in a maiden at Keeneland and represents a yard that has won this 3 times (4 in total) since 2015. Katey Kontent and Maria Branwell are also likely to figure.
- Dramatised5/2
- Love Reigns11/4
- Katey Kontent10/1
