Belhaven⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 86

50/1

Won 3 times in 2022 and left her reappearance effort well behind to go in again at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May. However, not troubled the judge more recently and up against it at this level.

Form: 129994

Fall In Love⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Kyle Strydom| T: R Varian| OR: 92

50/1

Useful filly for previous yard in France but could hardly have shown anything less on debut for this yard at Pontefract.

Form: 5605-99

(8)

Makinmedoit²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 99| D

28/1

Won 3 times last year and ran well when a close third at Lingfield in January. Not as good on turf since, however, and opposable.

Form: 12-3730

(1)

Morning Poem⁴⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| D

28/1

Useful form last season but she's a free-going sort so 13-month absence is a concern.

Form: 1/59125-

(11)

Mukaddamah³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 98

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. Not seen to best effect at Haydock since and return to this trip more suitable.

Form: 55-9027

(7)

Persist⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| D

22/1

Useful filly who was good second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 49 days ago but plenty more needed here.

Form: 2216-62

(2)

Queen Of The Skies³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: N Callan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 96| D

18/1

Useful sort who ran right up to her best when 3½ lengths fourth of 10 in listed race at York (1¼m, good). Well held at Salisbury since, however, and others preferred.

Form: 60-3240

(5)

Al Asifah⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 111| BF| D

10/11

Frankel filly who ran out an easy winner on debut in a Haydock maiden (10f) in May and took the rise in class in her stride with an impressive success in listed company at Goodwood (9.9f), hard held. Best not judged on Ribblesdale effort 11 days later and remains an exciting prospect.

Form: 116

(14)

Cite D'Or¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 92

125/1

Just the one decent effort this season and easy to oppose at this level.

Form: 688360

Infinite Cosmos¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 104| BF| D

5/1

Confirmed promise of sole 2-y-o start when bolting up in a Newmarket maiden (10f) on return in May. That form nothing spectacular but she improved nevertheless when third behind subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister in Musidora (10.2f) at York later that month. Off since but open to further progress.

Form: 2-13

(10)

Khinjani²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 80| D

33/1

Arrives in good form but plenty to find at this level.

Form: 3-34212

(13)

La Isla Mujeres⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 91| BF| D

10/1

Off the mark at Kempton (11f) in June and improved further when following up in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f). Decent third at Goodwood since but this requires a good deal more.

Form: 4-3113

(3)

Sapphire Seas¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 102| D

9/2

Narrow winner of 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on second start in January before defying penalty at Kempton in April. Overcame 5-month absence in impressive fashion when completing hat-trick on handicap bow at Haydock 2 weeks ago and looks ready for this level.

Form: 4111

(12)

Sparkling Beauty³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 96

125/1

Highly tried since winning her maiden, including when 2½ lengths fifth of 13 to State Occasion in listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 35 days ago on debut for this yard. Up against it again.

Form: 2126-65

Forecasts

Al Asifah (10/11), Sapphire Seas (9/2), Infinite Cosmos (5/1), La Isla Mujeres (10/1), Mukaddamah (16/1), Queen Of The Skies (18/1), Persist (22/1), Morning Poem (28/1), Makinmedoit (28/1), Khinjani (33/1), Fall In Love (50/1), Belhaven (50/1), Sparkling Beauty (125/1), Cite D'Or (125/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and a good chance for the exciting AL ASIFAH to resume winning ways back from a break. Smart prospects Infinite Cosmos and Sapphire Seas are others to consider.
