Spiritual¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 111| D

5/1

Seen to good effect when making all in Group 3 at Epsom in June. Player on that form under a penalty but she has been below par in her 2 subsequent starts.

Form: 43-3106

(7)

Arolla^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 98| D

25/1

Looked promising when winning first 2 starts last term and step back in the right direction when runner-up in a listed contest on return at Musselburgh. However. well held next 2 starts and has something to prove now.

Form: 186-207

(17)

Bright Thunder¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 103| BF

5/1

Produced a career best when opening her account for the season in listed event at Deauville (8f, good to soft) and backed that up with good third in Group 3 at Goodwood. Not disgraced in similar event at Sandown since and she's not taken lightly.

Form: 532135

(2)

Chic Colombine^t⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 97| CD

28/1

Useful form when bagging a listed event at Saint-Cloud in March 2024 but has been well below her best all 3 starts earlier this season.

Form: 208-795

(3)

Circe⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Davies| T: R Hannon| OR: 96| CD

33/1

Has really found her feet this season and got back on the up when landing 6f Newmarket handicap in June. Decent sixth of 27 in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood 6 weeks ago and she's likely to be in the mix back at 7f.

Form: 211516

(6)

Fair Angellica²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 103| D

11/1

Useful filly who ran a career best to win 6f listed event at Salisbury in May. Mixed record since but her fourth in the Hackwood at Newbury was decent and not disgraced in face of a stiff task in Group 2 there 4 weeks ago. Ran well when fourth in this last year.

Form: 619485

(19)

Fair Point¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101| D

25/1

Useful filly but was behind 3 of these when well held in the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown (8f, soft) 15 days ago.

Form: 120-920

(9)

Havana Pusey²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: J Gallagher| OR: 96| D

50/1

Improved performer this year, landing back-to-back handicaps in May. Some good efforts in defeat since but probably not quite up to this level.

Form: 184293

(13)

Jabaara⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 104| D

12/1

Proved at least as good as ever when winning listed race at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) in June, kept up to work. Bit too keen for own good next 2 starts.

Form: 462155

(5)

Lou Lou's Gift^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| D

12/1

Generally progressive but found listed/Group 3 company beyond her first 2 outings this year. Resumed progress back in a handicap when narrow winner at Newbury last month but may find this too competitive back up in class.

Form: 312-681

(14)

Queen's Reign³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: E Walker| OR: 98| D

80/1

Went close in listed race at Longchamp on return in the spring but failed to build on that next 2 starts and has plenty to find on balance.

Form: 272-275

(16)

Queen Of Mougins²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: A Murray| OR: 105

7/1

Progressive for Ralph Beckett and made a winning start for this yard in taking style at the Curragh (handicap) on comeback 4 weeks ago, showing smart form. Good third in this last year and capable of bettering that.

Form: 32324-1

(4)

Shuwari¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 103| D

7/2

Made up into a smart 2-y-o a couple of seasons back, winning Sandown listed race prior to finishing second in the Rockfel and Fillies' Mile (both at Newmarket). Missed whole of last year but back to best when winning listed race at Longchamp 2 weeks ago and could well go on again this autumn.

Form: 122/631

(18)

Stop The Cavalry⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 103

20/1

Useful filly who was still working her way back after a long time off when third in listed race (13/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 75 days ago. Career best required here but she arrives fresher than most.

Form: 5/163-53

(11)

Sunfall^t1⁹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 102| D

40/1

Four-time winner for William Haggas last year, much improved when digging deep for success in listed race at Ascot (7f, good) in October. Shaped as though the run was needed on return/debut for this yard at Epsom in June but off again since. First-time tongue strap enlisted.

Form: 33101-9

(8)

Bermuda Longtail^v²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 97| D

40/1

Useful form when second in listed race at York (7.9f, good) in May but limitations exposed at this level since. Change of headgear.

Form: 1-22795

(12)

Betty Clover¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 97

40/1

Useful filly with plenty of mileage but seems to be going the wrong way now, shaping as if amiss on 2 of her last 3 starts.

Form: 423P70

(10)

Miss Nightfall²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 89| BF

11/1

Promising second in Goodwood handicap on reappearance in May but consistent rather than progressive in similar events since and this looks too demanding.

Form: 32-2634

Forecasts

Shuwari (7/2), Bright Thunder (5/1), Spiritual (5/1), Queen Of Mougins (7/1), Fair Angellica (11/1), Miss Nightfall (11/1), Jabaara (12/1), Lou Lou's Gift (12/1), Stop The Cavalry (20/1), Arolla (25/1), Fair Point (25/1), Chic Colombine (28/1), Circe (33/1), Hey Boo (33/1), Sunfall (40/1), Bermuda Longtail (40/1), Betty Clover (40/1), Havana Pusey (50/1), Queen's Reign (80/1)

QUEEN OF MOUGINS took her form to another level when making a winning start for this yard at the Curragh 4 weeks ago and must hold every chance of bettering last year's third in this. Shuwari missed the whole of last season after a smart 2-y-o campaign but she's fully firing now and rates the main threat. Circe is having an excellent season and makes each-way appeal up in class.
