3/1
Smart mare who showed how good she is when winning in Listed company on the AW in France last year and followed that up with a win in first-time blinkers when taking a conditions event over 7f at Lingfield on Finals Day. Ran another storming race in Group 3 company last time out when back on turf doing the best that could be expected from her track position but has a better draw here despite having to concede weight to the entire field.

Looked a useful filly when trained in Italy scoring three times but comes back from a long break here on her GB debut and the market may provide the best guide to her chance.

The less fancied of the two runners from this stable and based official ratings she has a tough task in this.

May well have got the run of the race last time out at York when making the running and grabbing what appeared to be a favoured stands rail. That was only in handicap company and she steps up in grade here from a wide draw and with about a stone to find on the main players.

9/4
Quite rightly the more fancied of the duo from this stable although the wide draw might make life a little more difficult here. Progressive last season though (best run second in Listed company) and started out this season with a solid third in the Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield over 7f and is closely matched with Realtra on that run.

25/1
Handicap winner who has been tried in loftier company in her last four runs (Listed/Group3) and whilst she has run relatively well in them this grade does look slightly beyond her.

11/2
Three-time winner last year who was then a runner-up in Listed/Group 3 company on her last two starts. Maybe not seen at her best this year especially at Nottingham last time when returned to sprinting and has more chance returned to 7f here.

5/2
Should find this ease in grade more to her liking after running second in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn on his reappearance this year and the finishing a creditable sixth to Winter in the 1000 Guineas. Not badly drawn here for one who likes to race close up and has a leading chance.

Forecasts

Pirouette (9/4), Unforgetable Filly (5/2), Realtra (3/1), Glitter Girl (11/2), Florida Times (8/1), Hells Babe (14/1), Summer Icon (25/1), Wowcha (33/1), Conselice (40/1), Excellent Sounds (66/1)

Verdict

Good race for fillies but they are a rather mixed bag in terms of ability with the third and fourth from the Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield looking to hold leading chances and they would be respectively Pirouette and Realtra with the latter having to give away a penalty and the latter facing tricky wide draw. Unforgetable Filly sets the standard in form terms but there might just be one lurking here in FLORIDA TIMES who is nicely drawn and could well step up on her Newbury third back over 7f.
