(10)

Ad Infinitum^h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 99| D

10/1

Useful filly. 17/2, 10 lengths sixth of 9 to Majestic Dawn in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 34 days ago, very slowly away. Makes tapeta debut and she's likely to find a few too good.

Form: 4/1054-6

(6)

Angel Power⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 99| D

10/1

Useful mare. 16/1, sixteenth of 20 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip now switched to tapeta and she looks vulnerable.

Form: 527-330

(5)

Auria⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: A M Balding| OR: 96

22/1

Useful filly. 9/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut. Others look stronger on balance.

Form: 24170-6

Lower Street²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: D M Simcock| OR: 87| D

33/1

Useful filly. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 15/2, 6¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Pearl Beach in handicap at Kempton (12f) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks up against it up in class here.

Form: 113-115

(7)

Pearl Beach²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Knight| OR: 93| C

15/2

Useful mare. Course winner. Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (8/1) at Kempton (12f) 23 days ago, comfortably. However, much more on her plate in this contest.

Form: 531-241

(8)

Potapova²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 103

5/2

Useful filly. 11/2, good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Bashkirova in Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good) 20 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things, provided that she takes to this surface.

Form: 1940-22

(9)

Moon De Vega²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R M Beckett| OR: 100

8/1

Lightly-raced winner. 50/1, 10¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Tuesday in Oaks at Epsom (12f, good) 21 days ago. Shaped well in the Cheshire Oaks prior to that and she's interesting candidate.

Form: 551-48

(4)

Poptronic²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 90

8/1

Thrice-raced winner. 15/8, won 6-runner minor event at Ripon (10.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, plenty in hand. Remains open to improvement, but this is a much tougher assignment.

Form: 21-1

(2)

Rogue Millennium²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 106| D

11/4

Promising type. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 7 lengths seventh of 11 to Tuesday in Oaks at Epsom (12f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May well do better and she's a live each-way player.

Form: 117

Non-Runners

My Astra³⁷

Weight: 9-7| Age: 4

T: W J Haggas J: Non Runner

Forecasts

My Astra (4/6), Potapova (5/2), Rogue Millennium (11/4), Pearl Beach (15/2), Poptronic (8/1), Moon De Vega (8/1), Ad Infinitum (10/1), Angel Power (10/1), Auria (22/1), Lower Street (33/1)

It was hard not be impressed by the way MY ASTRA did the job in listed company at Ayr last month and she is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. Potapova looks pretty solid and shouldn't be far away, while Moon de Vega is interesting down in class/trip having contested the Oaks last time. However, My Astra may have most to fear from Rogue Millennium, who was by no means disgraced in the Oaks and remains with potential.
