Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Harry Burns| T: S & E Crisford| D

12/1

11/2, won 10-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 9 months, overcoming pace bias. Form of that race isn't working out particularly well but she's open to improvement.

Form: 1-

Naomi Lapaglia^h1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Spencer| OR: 83| D

9/2

Promising sort. 22¼ lengths seventeenth of 20 to Mawj in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (8f, soft, 80/1) 33 days ago. Hood on 1st time and very much of interest with her sights lowered significantly here.

Form: 1-0

(10)

Apollo's Angel³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley| T: K P De Foy

40/1

Twice-raced filly. 28/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 32 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 54

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 75

11/2

Lightly-raced filly. 14/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 22 days ago, well drawn. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 335-4

Fleur De Mer³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver| T: H Palmer

33/1

Twice-raced filly. Third of 6 in maiden (2/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Another for whom handicaps may provide greater opportunities.

Form: 8-3

(3)

Louaizeh¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Sorin Moldoveanu⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson

150/1

Once-raced filly. Last of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 25/1) on debut 15 days ago. Difficult ask.

Form: 0

(11)

Never Ending⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden

13/8

Promising sort. 20/1, second of 16 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 51 days ago, finishing with running left. Big player with improvement on the cards.

Form: 4-2

(1)

Peaceful Story²³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon

13/2

Once-raced filly. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 28/1) on sole 2-y-o start. Likely to leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 5-

(8)

Platinum Jubilee²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: A M Balding

14/1

Once-raced filly. Seventh of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Big step forward will be needed if she's to play a part in the finish here.

Form: 7

Sea Claret⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas

6/1

Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 16 in maiden (10/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) on debut 51 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time.

Form: 0

Tangled In Time¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes

80/1

Twice-raced filly. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when sixth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to do better in time.

Form: 6-6

Forecasts

Never Ending (13/8), Naomi Lapaglia (9/2), Bloomwithgrace (11/2), Sea Claret (6/1), Peaceful Story (13/2), Sunglasses (12/1), Platinum Jubilee (14/1), Fleur De Mer (33/1), Apollo's Angel (40/1), Tangled In Time (80/1), Louaizeh (150/1)

Having built on her 2-y-o debut promise when runner-up in a Newmarket maiden in April, NEVER ENDING looks the one to beat. The filly she chased home that day has since gone close in listed company, while the third won next time, so the form looks pretty decent. Naomi Lapaglia was biting off more than she could chew in the 1000 Guineas but she remains with potential and is of strong interest back in calmer waters. Bloomwithgrace is best of the rest.
