Selected odds by:
Smart performance to land a 1m Ascot handicap and followed up in a listed event at Chelmsford. Didn't come up to expectations in the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood a couple of months ago but could get back on track after a break.
|
Firmly back on track when excellent second in York handicap on return and backed that up when winning 12-runner listed race at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) in June. Hasn't been in top form since, however.
|
Highly progressive in handicaps this term and got back on track with a solid showing in the Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster last time. Well worthy of interest back down in grade.
|
Struck in 1m Kempton fillies' handicap under this rider in June and excelled herself when going close in Doncaster Group 3 (150/1) at the Leger meeting, finishing well. Not without a chance if she can build on that.
|
Dual 6.5f scorer at Doncaster last year but yet to fire in two starts this term. Others make more appeal.
|
Useful sort who cast aside a brace of lesser efforts when fifth in listed contest at Beverley on penultimate outing. Found the test too sharp at Ayr last time and return to this distance will help.
|
Better effort (left Richard Fahey and off 11 months after debut) when fourth in novice at Kempton 10 days ago. Faces a very stiff task at this level, however.
|
Yet to score this term but she arrives on the back of a good fifth in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f) 10 days ago. Should give her running again, but others have achieved more.
|
Confirmed debut promise when comfortably off the mark at Redcar 10 days ago but will need stacks of improvement if she's to make her presence felt in a race like this.
|
Useful filly who was third in a listed event at York in May but has disappointed since. Now returns from a 3-month break.
|
Already a dual winner and looked unfortunate not to add her tally when close second of 14 in handicap at Haydock in August. Disappointing at York next time and came up short on her last try at this level.
|
Fairly useful filly who put up a creditable showing when fourth at Kempton last time. Likely to be outclassed at this level, though.

Forecasts
Nizaaka (11/4), Soft Whisper (3/1), Primo Bacio (3/1), Queen Aminatu (5/1), Romantic Rival (7/1), Honey Sweet (10/1), Love Interest (12/1), Allayaali (22/1), Snooze N You Lose (22/1), Barbanera (22/1), Wilderness Girl (25/1), Kaif (28/1), Mistrix (66/1), Colombidea (125/1)
PRIMO BACIO has been shaping up well and this race could play into her hands, so she gets the narrow vote over Soft Whisper, who is likely to be back on her game after a break. Nizaaka still has plenty to offer at this level and Romantic Rival is also worth considering having improved markedly in Group 3 company last time.
