Bountiful^p1,t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 94

22/1

Won twice on turf last summer before excellent fourth in Group 2 at Newmarket. However, has proved difficult to place this year, tried in handicaps last 2 starts. Headgear now applied.

Form: 114-304

(3)

Queen Of Atlantis¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 86| D

20/1

Winless since completing hat-trick on AW early last year but her form has still been progressive, beaten only by a good prospect at Ascot 17 days ago after 4 months off. Warrants respect but others preferred for the win.

Form: 4622-02

Protest⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 92| D

11/2

Has been competitive in listed events since making a winning debut at Chelmsford but opening mark looks a stiff one as a result.

Form: 14-64

Tundra Rose^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 92

16/1

Newcastle novice winner last autumn before finishing third in 1m Newmarket listed event on heavy ground. However, didn't look comfortable when always behind on her belated comeback in listed race at Sandown last month and headgear now applied on handicap bow.

Form: 313-6

(2)

My Margie⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 84| D

50/1

Exposed as a fairly-useful handicapper who seems best on AW. Hard to fancy in this heat.

Form: 81-1653

(12)

Zapphire^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 83| D

15/2

Improved to win at Carlisle in May and should have added to that tally when just failing at Beverley, meeting trouble. Big player off the same mark despite a wide draw.

Form: 4-33142

(13)

Zgharta^h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Balding| OR: 89

5/1

Ghaiyyath filly with a steadily progressive profile, off the mark at the third attempt in in 1¼m Newmarket maiden before good seventh of 25 in Sandringham at Royal Ascot. Can do better again but drawn widest.

Form: 3-217

(9)

Dash Of Azure³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87

16/5

Ran with promise on all 3 starts last season and comfortably justified market confidence on handicap debut at Kempton on reappearance. Subsequent fifth of 25 in Sandringham at Royal Ascot was an excellent effort considering she failed to settle fully. Remains a useful prospect.

Form: 222-15

(7)

Rumba Numba⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 84

22/1

Too Darn Hot filly who proved a totally different proposition with her debut run behind her when landing maiden at Wolverhampton. Ran at least as well when second under a penalty at Southwell, pulling clear of rest. Remains with potential now handicapping.

Form: 612

(5)

Atlantis Blue^h⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: George Baker| OR: 69| D

12/1

Has proved vulnerable off this sort of mark but she arrives on the back of stylish win at Lingfield (turf) last week so not taken lightly under a penalty at a track which should suit.

Form: 47-5441

(4)

Mahra's Love¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

4/1

Steadily improving filly bidding for the hat-trick after handicap wins at Kempton and York. Open to further improvement and leading contender.

Form: 5-23311

(6)

Blessed Star²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

11/1

Consistent rather than progressive, resuming with a close second in Pontefract novice last month. Improvement needed off current mark.

Form: 2223-2

Forecasts

Dash Of Azure (16/5), Mahra's Love (4/1), Zgharta (5/1), Protest (11/2), Zapphire (15/2), Blessed Star (11/1), Atlantis Blue (12/1), Tundra Rose (16/1), Queen Of Atlantis (20/1), Rockymountainway (20/1), Rumba Numba (22/1), Bountiful (22/1), My Margie (50/1)

Plenty to consider but MAHRA'S LOVE ran out an authoritative winner at York last time and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick back against her own sex. Zapphire was an unlucky loser off this mark at Beverley last month so must be respected despite her wide draw. Dash of Azure and Zgharta both caught the eye in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and they complete the shortlist.
