Arrives here with a perfect record of three wins from three starts, justifying favouritism on each occasion. Impressive last time out when landing a Listed contest and runner-up and stablemate ran well in the Weatherby's Super Sprint on her subsequent start. Ought to run well again but probably needs to improve to take this.

15/2
Progressing nicely despite the fact she's yet to get her head in front and followed up a fine effort at Royal Ascot when drawn on the wrong side of the track with a close up fourth at Newmarket in a Group 2. Should carry on progressing but work to do to turn the form around with the highly promising Nyaleti.

Dutch Art filly, cost €115,000 as a yearling. Smart effort on debut at Newbury earlier in the month but that form looks a long way below what's required here and different ground this time around. Probably a little light on experience compared to others in the contest.

Easy winner in a Nottingham maiden earlier in the season and followed that up with a fine effort at York in Listed company. Seemed to run to a similar level at Ascot last time and will have to improve if she's to land a blow here.

2/1
Impressive on debut at Salisbury and went on to finish an excellent second to September at Royal Ascot, staying on gamely. Beaten by another Aidan O'Brien horse last time at Newmarket when upped to Group 2 company but no shame in that and a stiff 6f here could be her optimum trip. Had a couple of hard races but provided she's no worse off for them and she proves as effective on softer ground, she looks the one to beat, particularly with this jockey booked.

Failed to justify odds-on favouritism on second and third starts but won a match race easily at Windsor two starts back. Well beaten at Sandown last time though and still questions to answer currently; seemingly the second string on jockey bookings.

Spring Cosmos16

6/1
Acclamation filly, cost €46,000 as a yearling and £100,000 as a two-year-old. Produced a professional performance to win on debut at Newmarket but probably needs a big step forward from that run to win here in a deeper contest. Yard in typically good form, particularly with their juveniles, so she can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Nyaleti (2/1), Dance Diva (9/4), Spring Cosmos (6/1), Mistress Of Venice (15/2), Neola (8/1), Musical Art (12/1), Rebel Assault (25/1)

Verdict

NYALETI looks the one to beat and she gets the services of Ryan Moore for the first time. Her effort at the Royal meeting was impressive and she should enjoy 6f at this course. Dance Diva is yet to put a foot wrong but suspicion is she may find one too good here while Mistress Of Venice has close form with Nyaleti and it would be no surpirse to see her run well again.
  1. Nyaleti
  2. Dance Diva
  3. Mistress Of Venice
