Akecheta²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S A Gray| T: Kevin Coleman| OR: 90

13/2

Irish raider who has reached the frame in 1¼m handicaps at Epsom and Glorious Goodwood on her 2 visits to Britain this summer, faring best of those from off the pace when fourth at the latter 23 days ago. Respected.

Form: 4-26204

Ciara Pearl^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D Egan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 89| D

22/1

Proved as good as ever when successful from 2 lb lower at Nottingham (1¼m) in May. Creditable efforts in defeat on 2 of her 3 outings since but suspicion she'll be vulnerable to some of the improving 3-y-os in this line-up.

Form: 951406

Power Of Destiny²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 87| D

18/1

This Sea The Stars filly has been operating best since finishing third on AW in January but is back on a good mark if staging a revival for a yard which has tasted recent success in this race.

Form: 4-30590

Roarin' Success³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 85

16/1

Snapped a losing run in 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (9f, good to soft, 9/2) in June, outbattling runner-up. Good second of 5 at Doncaster since but was seen to maximum effect from the front and suspicion she might be vulnerable to something less exposed.

Form: 39-0412

Zgharta^h²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

15/8

Ghaiyyath filly with a steadily progressive profile. Had to wait for gap and shaped well when fifth in 1m Glorious Goodwood handicap last month. Won her maiden over 1¼m so this step back up in trip could suit if anything. Big player with Oisin Murphy taking the reins.

Form: 3-2175

(5)

Fiver Friday⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: Paul Traynor| OR: 81| D

33/1

1¼m winner at Naas last summer. Two creditable efforts in defeat on the Flat at Down Royal and the Curragh in June and can have a line put through a subsequent below-par run back hurdling last month (found to have mucus on lungs post race).

Form: 584-845

(11)

Wonder Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84| D

10/3

Ascot maiden winner over this trip on reappearance in May. The outing presumably came too soon when down the field in a Newbury listed race 8 days later and she resumed her progression with an excellent second of 14 in the 1¼m fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood. Should go well again.

Form: 6-182

(12)

Bint Al Daar^p1,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Alfie Gee⁽⁷⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 77| D

33/1

Had a productive 2024 but yet to add to tally this year. Better effort since joining Kevin Frost when fifth of 8 at Haydock (10.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago but needed to see more to be positive about her prospects in a race as competitive as this. Cheekpieces go on.

Form: 209505

Jujubella^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 75| D

33/1

Fourth win a of productive year when seeing off 6 rivals over 11.5f at Haydock (good to firm) last month but found her run of good form coming to a halt when only sixth of 10 at Ayr (1¼m) since.

Form: 912316

Brielle³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82

18/1

Progressive form, getting off the mark at the third time of asking in 1m Hamilton novice (good to firm) 36 days ago. Back up in trip for handicap debut and surprise if she's reached her limit after only 3 starts.

Form: 321

(2)

Cape Flora³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 79| D

13/2

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) 36 days ago, proving well suited by the switch to front-running tactics. Likely capable of better again for her leading stable.

Form: 7-9451

(7)

Callisto Dream²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: E Bethell| OR: 79| BF

25/1

Doubled career tally with a 1m Goodwood maiden success in June. Third in 1m handicaps at Ascot and Redcar since, shaping well at the first named. Tackles 1¼m for the first time here.

Form: 1-6133

(6)

Blessed Star²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Harry Bentley| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

14/1

Placed on all 7 starts, showing improved form when third (Zgharta fifth) of 12 in the 1m fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood. It's possible the step up to 1¼m could unlock more improvement.

Form: 2223-23

Forecasts

Zgharta (15/8), Wonder Star (10/3), Cape Flora (13/2), Akecheta (13/2), Blessed Star (14/1), Roarin' Success (16/1), Brielle (18/1), Power Of Destiny (18/1), Ciara Pearl (22/1), Callisto Dream (25/1), Jujubella (33/1), Bint Al Daar (33/1), Fiver Friday (33/1)

This has gone to an older filly in the last 3 years but the 3-y-os look to hold a strong hand this time. ZGHARTA has been better than the result at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood on her last 2 outings and can make it third time lucky in handicaps at a big summer meeting. Glorious Goodwood second Wonder Star can give her most to do ahead of Cape Flora. Irish raider Akecheta may prove best of the older brigade.
