Three wins from 9 runs last year, latest Group 2 at Longchamp in October. Well held both starts in the Middle East earlier this year but no surprise if he bounced back after a break.

28/1
Smart performer in 2022 when winner of 3 races, including Prix Hocquart at Longchamp, and good fifth to Onesto in Grand Prix de Paris on same course. Gelded, nowhere near that form this year, though won minor event at Toulouse in June. Has left Francis-Henri Graffard. Best watched.

Won a pair of AW novices, looking really smart when hacking up at Kempton latterly. Seemed to be feeling the very firm ground in Group 3 at Haydock next time and she remains capable of better.

Off the mark in impressive fashion at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in May and further progress since, resuming winning ways in C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. Plenty to find with stablemate Bluestocking, however.

Shaped well when placed behind Warm Heart in Newbury listed race/the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1½m, good to firm) before collared only close home by Savethelastdance in the Irish Oaks. Decent fourth in Yorkshire Oaks since and obvious claims back down in class.

Sea The Moon filly who made a successful start in 10f Lingfield maiden and best effort since when 2¼ lengths third of 8 in Group 3 at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Up in trip. More needed again.

13/2
Useful filly who returned to action with a good second in Group 3 at Saint Cloud. No threat in the Musidora/Oaks next 2 starts but back on track when fifth of 17 in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot before good second on listed race at Hamilton. Bit to find with principals, however.

Forecasts

Bluestocking (8/11), Modaara (6/1), Sea Of Roses (13/2), Al Qareem (17/2), Alba Longa (17/2), L'astronome (28/1), Empress Wu (33/1)

14:05 Chester - 16 September 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

An excellent opportunity for BLUESTOCKING to open her account for the season dropping markedly in class. Modaara rates the main threat having had excuses in the Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock.
