Stunning Beauty^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 96| D

5/1

Good second of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. More exposed than her rivals, but a reproduction of her latest effort would put her in the mix.

Form: 3-70932

State Occasion³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 89| D

10/3

Proved better than ever after 7 months off when she was awarded the race at Chelmsford in May. Excellent fourth (despite meeting trouble) in Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last time, so she's a definite player.

Form: 3233-14

(5)

Julia Augusta¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 90| D

6/4

Has looked a potentially pattern-class filly on both starts to date, scoring easily at Thirsk on her recent return. Mark of 90 looks lenient and there's plenty more to come, so makes obvious appeal.

Form: 1-1

(4)

River Pride²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89

12/1

Useful filly who appears to have reached her peak and hasn't been at her best the last twice, so others look more appealing.

Form: 91-1278

(3)

Morgan Fairy²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81| D

10/3

Fairly useful filly who shaped as if still in good form when mid-field in the Sandringham last time. Not the most straightforward, but deserves some respect.

Form: 421-30

Forecasts

Julia Augusta (6/4), Morgan Fairy (10/3), State Occasion (10/3), Stunning Beauty (5/1), River Pride (12/1)

JULIA AUGUSTA has looked a talented filly in winning her first two starts, particularly when forging clear at Thirsk last time, and a mark of 90 is likely to underestimate her on handicap debut. She's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record at the likely expense of State Occasion, who shaped well at Royal Ascot last time. Stunning Beauty is also considered.
