Ellaria Sand²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 82| C

14/1

Course winner in July. 20/1, creditable 3 lengths fifth of 19 to Candy in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago but vulnerable for win purposes again.

Form: 412395

(4)

Isabella Castile¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 79

25/1

Fair form, winning a 13-runner novice at Windsor (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, soon clear. Will relish the conditions but has plenty to find on form.

Form: 931

(8)

Liberalised⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 90

22/1

Won 6f Hamilton maiden on debut in June but has had her limitations exposed in defeat since. Races on going softer than good for the first time.

Form: 1853

(1)

Naina¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: J Ryan| OR: 85| D

6/1

Already a four-time winner over 7f but down the field in the Group 3 Oh So Sharp at Newmarket last time.

Form: 116118

Santa Savana^h²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: B R Millman| OR: 85

20/1

Made a winning start over 6f at Leicester in May. Creditable fourth of 9 in 7f Newmarket nursery last time but came up well short at listed/Group 3 level prior to that.

Form: 15864

(3)

Saqqara Sands²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| D

9/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning 7f Newmarket maiden (good to soft) last month. Looks a useful prospect for her top stable.

Form: 21

(7)

Sea To Sky³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett

7/1

Has a similar profile to stablemate Saqqara Sands, finishing second on debut before winning a 1m Newmarket novice (both good ground). Definitely more to come.

Form: 21

(9)

Supermodel²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

7/2

Looked a good prospect when ploughing through the mud to win comfortably on her 7f Haydock debut 4 weeks ago. Her top yard is no stranger to success in this race.

Form: 1

(5)

Too Much Heaven⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| CD

7/4

Created a very good impression when a 4-length winner of her C&D debut (soft) last month. Can take the step up to listed level in her stride.

Form: 1

(10)

Twafeeg²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: A Watson| OR: 89| D

40/1

Won on 6.5f Doncaster debut in June. Creditable seventh of 16 in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks later but ran poorly back from 4 months off at Newmarket 21 days ago.

Form: 170

Forecasts

Too Much Heaven (7/4), Supermodel (7/2), Naina (6/1), Sea To Sky (7/1), Saqqara Sands (9/1), Ellaria Sand (14/1), Santa Savana (20/1), Liberalised (22/1), Isabella Castile (25/1), Twafeeg (40/1)

It's likely at least one of the promising last-time-out maiden/novice winners will step forward, with the vote going to TOO MUCH HEAVEN, who was impressive on her C&D debut. Supermodel proved herself under these conditions on her Haydock debut and is second choice ahead of Ralph Beckett pair Saqqara Sands and Sea To Sky.
