Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84| BF

8/13

Justify filly has finished runner-up on three starts since promising debut, latest her best race to date when second (hung right) on handicap debut at Sandown (10f, good) 30 days ago, took time to hit full stride. Step up in trip should suit on that evidence and could well be the one to beat here.

Form: 4-222

Lalique^p1⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 83

13/2

Showed plenty of stamina when making a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Kempton and improved over a longer trip (11f) when runner-up behind a potential pattern class performer 67 days ago. Addition of cheekpieces/longer trip should be in her favour and one to consider on turf debut.

Form: 12

Alibey²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Golden Horn filly who is bred to be useful and shaped better than first time up (hit trouble in running on debut) when third of 5 in maiden (16/5) at Haydock (11.8f, good) 22 days ago, suited by the step up in trip. In excellent hands and no surprise to see her progress again.

Form: 93

Flame Dancer^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane

200/1

Showed a bit on debut but well held back in trip when 150/1 and hooded for first time, last of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 27 days ago. Steps up markedly in trip but looks one of handicaps.

Form: 88

Lothbury

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen

16/1

65,000 gns yearling, Australia filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Tournelle. Dam sprint maiden sister to smart sprinter Dibajj. Interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting on debut for her excellent yard.

Louie's Folly⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton

200/1

Fared little better than on debut when switched to turf, seventh of 10 in novice (125/1) at Haydock (11.8f, good) 44 days ago. Has plenty to find.

Form: 67

Miss Justice (8/13), Alibey (11/4), Lalique (13/2), Lothbury (16/1), Louie's Folly (200/1), Flame Dancer (200/1)

MISS JUSTICE ran her best race to date when runner-up on handicap debut at Sandown last month and with this longer trip expected to suit, she may be able to get off the mark. Alibey progressed from her debut when a creditable third at Haydock and is open to further improvement, as is Lalique who chased home a useful sort on the all-weather in May and now wears headgear for the first time over a slightly longer trip.
