Al Husn³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 103| D

3/1

Smart filly who won all 3 starts last season, including a red-hot valuable Newmarket fillies/mares handicap over this trip in October. Fine return in the Group 2 Dahlia on reappearance and didn't need to improve to land the odds in listed company a month ago.

Form: 1/111-21

Belt Buckle⁴¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87

50/1

Half-sister to 7f winners Brigham Young and Cosmo Sherpa. Dam, winner up to 9.4f (including Dance Design Stakes) and made successful start herself despite signs of greenness at Wolverhampton in February (9.5f). Fared as well as could be expected upped in listed class last month and this even harder.

Form: 14-

Misty Dancer²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 97| D

11/1

Progressive 3-y-o and confirmed she's useful back on the AW for latest win at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago. Strong traveller who looks worth a shot at this level.

Form: 118-621

Nashwa³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 113| BF| D

8/11

Winner of French Oaks at Chantilly and Nassau at Goodwood last summer and nothing wrong with a couple of in-frame efforts at the highest level to end the campaign. Looked a bit rusty on her reappearance but she's the class act here on AW debut.

Form: 31124-4

One For Bobby⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: H Morrison| OR: 104| D

12/1

Winner of first 2 starts at Gowran for Johnny Murtagh last May and went on to post a couple of good efforts in more exalted company for that yard. Transferred to Hughie Morrison and better than ever when successful in listed company at Nottingham last month.

Form: 03683-1

Rousay¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Hannon| OR: 99| D

50/1

Listed winner at Salisbury in August and just as good when fourth at that level on the AW final 3-y-o start. Probably needed recent reappearance but big career best needed.

Form: 21274-4

(6)

Star Fortress²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 94| D

11/1

Sea The Stars filly who confirmed debut promise when taking Chelmsford novice (10f) and showed improved form upped significantly in grade when third in a listed event at Newmarket last summer. Limitations perhaps exposed after but she's in top hands ahead of reappearance.

Form: 21306-

(8)

Bright Diamond^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 101

16/1

Useful at 2 (third in Prestige at Goodwood and Fillies' Mile at Newmarket). Outclassed in the Oaks second run back this term and this more her level with cheekpieces on.

Form: 133-55

(2)

Heavenly Breath^b1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: A Watson| OR: 100

80/1

Runner-up at Group 3/listed level over 1m in France. Did too much too soon when well held in 1m German Group 3 and while she showed a bit more at Goodwood, that level still well short of what's required here.

Form: 312-284

Forecasts

Nashwa (8/11), Al Husn (3/1), Misty Dancer (11/1), Star Fortress (11/1), One For Bobby (12/1), Bright Diamond (16/1), Belt Buckle (50/1), Rousay (50/1), Heavenly Breath (80/1)

NASHWA established herself at a higher level than this as a 3-y-o, winning a brace of Group 1 contests and with her reappearance run unlikely to be lost on her, she can outclass these switched to the AW. Al Husn is clear second choice on form, with One For Bobby another to consider on the back of a sparkling stable debut at Nottingham.
