Aljazzi^h⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 112| D

9/2

Listed winner and not far off causing a big upset at Royal Ascot in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes when ¾L off Qemah. That's the best form on offer and this is an easier race so could be hard to beat provided softer ground doesn't inconvenience her.

Form: 149-152

Greta G^t1⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105| D

16/1

Group 1 winner in her native South America but has struggled in a pair of Group races here. This is easier than those contests but she looks largely reliant on a first-time tongue-tie improving her.

Form: 4121-96

Intimation⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 104| BF| D

11/4

Went close in a Group 3 at the Curragh last week and well suited to some cut in the ground with all her wins coming with soft or yielding in the going description. Needs to improve but will enjoy conditions more than most. Each-way claims.

Form: 7331-22

Lbretha³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Gregory Benoist| T: F Graffard| D

16/1

Listed winner in France when last seen but likely to want softer conditions than what she will get here. Holds a Group 1 entry and has to be respected but she needs to improve if she's to land a blow here.

Form: 25-2311

Lincoln Rocks⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 106| D

12/1

Has been running well in defeat this year when the yard were a little out of form and duly got his head back in front at York last time, staying on gamely. This is harder but she may not be done improving just yet and yard are flying currently.

Nathra¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 108

3/1

Runner-up in a French Group 1 last year and back to form when third of eight in a Group 2 at Newbury last time out. That looked a hot race and she'll enjoy this drop down in class. Should run well and seemingly the first-string on jockey bookings.

Form: 5293-63

Opal Tiara⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M R Channon| OR: 104

33/1

Group 2 winner in Meydan at the start of the year but has struggled badly since placing in Group 2 company at the Curragh in May. Tame effort at Goodwood last time out and looks opposable.

Always Thankful^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: I Mohammed| OR: 75| D

100/1

Won back-to-back Class 5 handicaps on her latest two starts but likely to struggle chucked in at the deep-end here. First-time cheekpieces on and she needs to find well in excess of a stone of improvement to land any sort of blow here.

Form: 5-24811

Dancing Breeze²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93| D

20/1

Won on debut but hasn't managed to place on five subsequent starts, including four efforts in Listed class. This doesn't look any easier and Dettori prefers Nathra.

Tisbutadream¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 102| CD

7/1

Won a Listed race over C&D three starts back and she's dangerous when she's allowed to dictate from the front. Wants fast ground to be seen at her best but can't be discounted with very little pace in the race.

Urban Fox^b³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: M Harley| T: J Tate| OR: 100

25/1

Finished third in a Group 1 at Newmarket and started this season with another fine effort in Group company. Yard tend to do well this time of year and she shaped like a return to form was imminent at Ascot in July; capable of running a big race.

Forecasts

Intimation (11/4), Nathra (3/1), Aljazzi (9/2), Tisbutadream (7/1), On Her Toes (8/1), Lincoln Rocks (12/1), Lbretha (16/1), Greta G (16/1), Dancing Breeze (20/1), Urban Fox (25/1), Opal Tiara (33/1), Somethingthrilling (33/1), Always Thankful (100/1)

Tisbutadream could get an easy time of things on the front end and her jockey is excellent at riding front runners. It would be no surprise to see David Elsworth's filly run a big race and yard do well with their fillies. Intimation is certain to enjoy conditions and can't be dismissed but it's ALJAZZI who makes most appeal in a very competitive affair after a fine effort behind Qemah at Royal Ascot last time.
