Carla's Way^t³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 98| BF| D

7/2

Big-money breeze-up buy who created an excellent impression when readily making all in 6.5f maiden at Doncaster on debut. Back on track when runner-up in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last month and might not have finished improving.

Form: 182

Carolina Reaper³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 97| D

14/1

Useful filly who doubled her tally in Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden a month ago. This is tougher but she's likely to give her all again.

Shuwari⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 100| D

13/8

80,000 gns yearling bred to be useful and looks just that having won 7f Newbury novice and Sandown listed race in good style. She saw off the Sweet Solera winner Fallen Angel last time, with another couple of subsequent improvers (including a stablemate) in behind.

Form: 11

Spiritual^h¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| D

12/1

€280,000 Invincible Spirit filly from a good family. Ideal start when scoring at Leicester recently, well on top at the finish. Open to significant improvement, so looks a player.

Form: 1

Ylang Ylang¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 106| BF| D

5/2

Highly promising Frankel filly who has made all in Curragh maiden and Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, by 1½ lengths from Vespertilio) this summer. Something amiss in Moyglare Stud Stakes at former course last time, but remains with potential.

Form: 119

(7)

Zenjabeela²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 90| D

18/1

Off the mark with plenty to spare in a Southwell maiden on her second start and did well in the circumstances when following up in minor event at Beverley (7.4f) 27 days ago, denied a clear run 2f out. Worth considering for all that this is a marked step up.

Form: 311

Forecasts

Shuwari (13/8), Ylang Ylang (5/2), Carla's Way (7/2), Alshinfarah (10/1), Spiritual (12/1), Carolina Reaper (14/1), Zenjabeela (18/1), Marcella (33/1)

YLANG YLANG was hugely impressive on her first two starts and, despite a blip last time, she makes most appeal with the scope for better. The unbeaten Shuwari is an obvious danger and Carla's Way deserves respect on the back of a solid showing at Goodwood.
