White Moonlight³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 106| D

9/2

Back to best when winning 7-runner listed race (4/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Heredia, albeit better positioned than runner-up. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 5-22751

Another Romance^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 99| BF| D

7/1

Useful filly. 5/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) on return 24 days ago. Should prove capable of making her presence felt in this grade.

Form: 33127-2

Aramis Grey⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 95| C| D

14/1

Useful mare. Course winner. Ten wins from 38 Flat runs. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 9 to Get Ahead in listed race at Haydock (6f, good, 10/1) 44 days ago, running on. Reliable sort but bit more needed to make the breakthrough at this level.

Form: 2-22123

Heredia³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 102| BF| D

11/4

Won her first 4 starts, notably the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Shaped well when 1¾ lengths second of 7 to White Moonlight in listed race at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago, left poorly placed in slowly-run race. Leading player on AW debut.

Form: 1388-22

Hodd's Girl⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A McGuinness| OR: 100| D

50/1

Useful mare. Latest win at Dundalk in January. 25/1, 4¼ lengths last of 7 to Moss Tucker in listed race at Naas (5f, heavy) 76 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Something to find on form.

Form: 214537

Internationalangel¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 100| CD

8/1

Useful mare. 4-time C&D winner. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. Ran poorly on return when last of 10 to Rogue Millennium in Duke of Cambridge Stakes (33/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Bounce back required.

Form: 43-8630

Queen Aminatu¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| D

2/1

Smart filly. Winner in this grade at Lingfield and Deauville last year. 14/1, 6 lengths seventh of 10 to Rogue Millennium in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. More reliable proposition on AW and is expected to be bang there.

Forecasts

Queen Aminatu (2/1), Heredia (11/4), Potapova (10/3), White Moonlight (9/2), Another Romance (7/1), Internationalangel (8/1), Aramis Grey (14/1), Hodd's Girl (50/1)

QUEEN AMINATU was mid-field in the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last time but essentially has a more solid profile on artificial surfaces and she's fancied to land a third listed success. Heredia is undoubtedly capable of winning a race at this level and shaped as if in good form at Musselburgh, whilst Potapova remains tricky to discount in this grade given last season's Group 3-winning form.
