Fall In Love²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Kyle Strydom| T: R Varian| OR: 94

33/1

Showed form verging on smart for previous yard in France in 2022. Yet to scale same heights this year but fared a lot better than on her stable debut when fourth (Mukaddamah 2nd) in Yarmouth listed event 23 days ago.

Form: 605-994

(11)

Mukaddamah²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 98

11/1

Has yet to add to her debut success last year but she was beaten only by a big improver in a listed event at Yarmouth (10.1f) 23 days ago and reproduction of that form should see her thereabouts again.

Form: 5-90272

(10)

Persist¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| D

20/1

Dual winner last term who has run creditably all 4 outings this season, including when fourth in 8-runner listed event at Goodwood (9.9f) 16 days ago, despite another slow start. This asks for a good bit more, though.

Form: 16-6264

(1)

Rousay¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 101| D

14/1

Seemed to excel herself back against the males when third of 8 in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 16 days ago. Has each-way claims if reproducing that form.

Form: 4-48443

(7)

Boogie Woogie²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 106| D

4/1

Useful filly who confirmed previous improvement when second in Group 3 at Chantilly in June. Heavy ground an obvious excuse at Cork next time and not disgraced in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster since. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 216255

(2)

Never Ending³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 79| D

22/1

Showed improved form when gaining a first handicap win in ready fashion in 7-runner event (5/2) at Leicester (10f, soft) 31 days ago, responding well. This demands more again but her physique and smart pedigree are ongoing recommendations.

Form: 4-21551

(5)

Novus⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101

9/1

Progressive filly who was second and first in big-field handicaps at Glorious Goodwood. Showed she can be competitive at a higher level when fourth in Group 3 at Sandown last time and shapes as if she'll be suited by this longer trip.

Form: 162214

(8)

Sea The Lady⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Alexis Pouchin| T: Y Barberot| OR: 105

7/1

Useful performer in Germany who won 3 times at 2 yrs. Yet to add to her tally in 2023 but ran up to her best when third of 13 in Preis der Diana (Group 1) at Dusseldorf (10.9f, heavy) 68 days ago. Interesting runner.

Form: 21-2543

(3)

Silver Lady^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 100| BF| C

4/1

Bred to be the part and she scored with plenty in hand on her debut here (1m) in April. Built on that when a close third in a York listed event the following month (7.9f) and ran just as well after 4 months off when sixth in a similar event here 2 weeks ago. Step up in trip will suit.

Form: 136

(6)

Unless^b³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 104| D

3/1

Likeable type who made all in a listed race at the Curragh before improving further to finish an excellent second in a Group 3 at same track. Not quite in same form in a Group 2 there on most recent outing but has a leading chance back at this level.

Form: 142126

(9)

Veil Of Shadows¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 96

18/1

Debut winner at Kempton in February and useful efforts when runner-up in handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Haydock (10.2f) this summer. Not disgraced upped to this level here last time and drop back in trip looks a good move.

Form: 130226

Forecasts

Unless (3/1), Boogie Woogie (4/1), Silver Lady (4/1), Sea The Lady (7/1), Mistral Star (8/1), Novus (9/1), Mukaddamah (11/1), Rousay (14/1), Veil Of Shadows (18/1), Persist (20/1), Never Ending (22/1), Fall In Love (33/1)

The lightly-raced SILVER LADY gave the strong impression that she'll be suited by a step up to 1¼m on her return here a fortnight ago, so she's an appealing candidate for the same jockey/trainer combination that took this contest 12 months ago. Unless sets the standard and ought to go well, with Mukaddamah and Novus others to consider in an intriguing Group 3.
