3/1
Defied a big weight to win a valuable handicap at York last summer, but was out of the frame in subsequent starts at Group 3 and Listed level and was probably not at her best after a long season. Has the chance to bounce back after her winter break.

Best of three runs last season saw her finish a fine third of 24 in the Listed Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Good chance if able to bring that sort of form to the table.

5/1
Won in maiden and handicap company at this venue a year ago and was only 1L and one place behind Paco's Angel at Royal Ascot. She is 7lb worse off with that filly, but Goodwood form counts for a lot and she has that in her locker.

3/1
Consistent and progressive filly last season who looked to have improved again when runner-up in Listed company at Kempton on her seasonal reappeareance last month. Has a C&D win on her CV and looks sure to make a bold bid.

Has been running with credit on the AW and was just behind Shenanigans at Kempton last time when she probably had an edge in fitness over her rival. Should run with credit on her return to turf.

May have found 1m2f stretching her stamina at Kempton last time, but previous AW displays were solid. Has a bit to find on her return to grass, but is not dimissed.

11/4
Only three-year-old in the field, but a talented one. Bolted up in a 6f Group 3 contest at Ascot in July and was subsequently touched off at Group 2 level at Newmarket. Two runs this season have not matched that form, however.

Forecasts

Nyaleti (11/4), Shenanigans (3/1), Lincoln Rocks (3/1), Queen of Time (5/1), Paco's Angel (8/1), Soul Silver (20/1), Peak Princess (20/1), Stellar Surprise (25/1)

Verdict

Nyaleti would have been the choice on her juvenile form in receipt of so much weight had it not been for a couple of ordinary runs this season. She may be able to bounce back, but a safer option is SHENANIGANS, who was progressive last term and shaped encouragingly on her reappearance at Kempton. Lincoln Rocks looks a big danger, while Paco's Angel can confirm last season's form with Queen Of Time, despite the latter having shown a liking for this venue.
