Selected odds by:

(8)

Tropical Island¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Luke McAteer| T: R A Fahey| OR: 98| D

20/1

Useful filly who had the benefit of an enterprising ride when making the breakthrough in listed company at Galway (40/1) 17 days ago and looks vulnerable under a penalty here.

Form: 160491

(11)

Rosy Affair³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 94| D

3/1

Useful filly who was a good third in 6f Newmarket handicap on reappearance before finishing fourth in listed races at Ayr and York next 2 starts. Likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 222-344

(6)

Hold A Dream³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox| OR: 96| D

9/2

Useful filly who went close in a couple of listed races at Chelmsford and Sandown this year. Found Group 3 at York too demanding last time but should be much more competitive here.

Form: 21-2529

(10)

Lady Of Andros^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 88| D

16/1

Winless since debut but has improved since joining new connections, shaping as if still in form in this headgear at Goodwood latest. Capable of being competitive.

Form: 8-42235

(5)

Magic Basma²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 82| D

16/1

Maiden winner on debut last summer and showed improved form when fourth of 18 in a handicap at York (40/1) in June. Far from disgraced at Ayr since but has a bit to find at this level.

Form: 127-045

(4)

No Alibi^t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: P Twomey| OR: 86| D

3/1

Progressive Irish filly who confirmed debut promise to win next 2 starts at Cork/Limerick. This demands more but she's an interesting contender.

Form: 211

(9)

Pearl Of Windsor⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Allen| OR: 81

50/1

Fairly useful filly who was last of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 44 days ago and has plenty on her plate here.

Form: 85-8847

(3)

Rhyme Dust^h⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: M D I Usher| OR: 70| D

16/1

Much improved in first-time hood when winning a 5-runner 6f maiden at Salisbury by a wide margin on Wednesday, suited by drop in trip. Taking a big jump in class but she remains unexposed.

Form: 33-51

(7)

Stormy Impact¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 96| D

10/3

Taken her form to another level this season, winning Epsom 3-y-o Dash before resuming winning ways/progress at Wolverhampton late last month. Sets the standard back up in class.

Form: 1-61091

(2)

The Third Star³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 82

40/1

Won a 7f Southwell maiden in April but not up to better company of late. Plenty to find.

Form: 6-12866

Beaujolais Nouveau⁵³

Weight: 9-1| Age: 3

T: B Haslam J: Jason Hart

Forecasts

Rosy Affair (3/1), No Alibi (3/1), Stormy Impact (10/3), Hold A Dream (9/2), Magic Basma (16/1), Rhyme Dust (16/1), Lady Of Andros (16/1), Tropical Island (20/1), Beaujolais Nouveau (33/1), The Third Star (40/1), Pearl Of Windsor (50/1)

STORMY IMPACT might need a bit of luck given her style of running but she's clearly the one to beat on form. Hold A Dream and Rosy Affair look capable of being involved, while progressive Irish-filly No Alibi must be respected.
