Heredia³⁴

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

11/2

Won her first 4 starts, notably the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot in 2022. Has returned in good order, not seen to best effect once more at Chelmsford last month. Tendency to miss the kick means that she's always going to need things to fall right but she's not dismissed here.

Form: 388-224

Kingmania^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: J Ferguson| OR: 81| D

66/1

Progressive earlier in her career for Chris Wall and, having drawn a blank in 2022, she made the perfect start for new yard in a first-time hood at Southwell (1m) in April. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Pontefract last month and prospect of strong pace here in her favour.

Form: 705-146

(9)

Mukaddamah¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 99

16/1

Failed to add to debut success in a Wolverhampton novice last year but she often acquitted herself well in good company, and ran easily her best race this term when second in 10.2f York listed race a fortnight ago. More needed still.

Form: 455-902

(2)

Purplepay³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 102| BF| D

11/2

Won the Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly in June 2022 but not so good since, albeit faring a bit better than in her 2 starts in Australia earlier in the year when third at Pontefract last month. Needs more.

Form: 556-003

(16)

Quick Change³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 97| CD

25/1

Last 2 wins have come over C&D, easily landing class 4 fillies' handicap in June. Good third upped to this level at Deauville last month but more needed again to take a hand in this.

Form: 21-7713

(5)

Tarrabb^t⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 92| CD

17/2

Successful 3 times last year, latterly when edging out subsequent listed winner Queen Aminatu in C&D fillies' handicap at this meeting. Fine run again fitted with tongue tie when third (Don't Tell Claire second) in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot and not out of this.

Form: 1135-23

(6)

Breege¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 105| BF

3/1

Much improved when second in the Sandringham Handicap and Oak Tree Stakes the last twice, keeping on well at Goodwood last week. Return to 1m will suit and another bold bid expected for in-form yard.

Form: 325-722

(4)

Bridestones^t1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93| D

22/1

Ready winner sole start at 2 yrs. Pretty highly tried so far this term and made more impact than previously when third in Coral Distaff (1m, listed race) at Sandown 5 weeks ago. Tongue tie goes on now.

Form: 1-6903

(7)

Crystallium^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J F Egan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 93

33/1

Fairly useful dual 7f scorer as a juvenile and best effort this term when beaten around a length in the Distaff at Sandown 5 weeks ago. Another step up required.

Form: 58-7754

(3)

Lose Yourself³⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101

9/2

Newmarket debut winner last summer who went close in a 7f Group 3 there on her only subsequent 2-y-o start. Likely capable of even better and interesting on return up in trip.

Form: 12-

(8)

Maggie's Way²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 86| D

25/1

Made a winning return in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in May and back to form when splitting Orchid Bloom and Don't Tell Claire in fillies' contest at Newbury 3 weeks ago. More needed.

Form: 626-192

(11)

Orchid Bloom²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: O J Orr| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93| D

9/1

Newmarket debut winner last autumn and improved further when landing 1m Newbury fillies' handicap last month from a couple of these. Could do even better and not underestimated up in class.

Form: 1-221

(15)

Stenton Glider³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: H Palmer| OR: 103| BF

12/1

Debut winner in September and has held her own in some good fillies' contests this term, second in the Fred Darling, German 1000 Guineas and listed Sandown race (battled well but headed late). Can go well.

Form: 1-2022

Forecasts

Breege (3/1), Lose Yourself (9/2), Heredia (11/2), Purplepay (11/2), Tarrabb (17/2), Orchid Bloom (9/1), Stenton Glider (12/1), Sparks Fly (12/1), Crystal Caprice (14/1), Mukaddamah (16/1), Don't Tell Claire (20/1), Bridestones (22/1), Maggie's Way (25/1), Quick Change (25/1), Crystallium (33/1), Kingmania (66/1)

BREEGE has run tremendous races to finish second in the Sandringham Handicap and Oak Tree Stakes the last twice and has good claims on these terms if this doesn't come too quickly after Goodwood. The unexposed Lose Yourself and Stenton Glider make it a strong hand for the 3-y-os, while Heredia looks the pick of the older horses.
