A Case Of You³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 108| BF| D

10/1

Smart colt who beat Lipizzaner in a Group 3 at the Curragh last season and had several of these in behind when getting up close home in the Lacken Stakes at Naas. This asks a different question.

Form: 311-101

(18)

Dragon Symbol²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 111| BF| D

4/1

Won first 4 starts and improved again when beaten a nose by Rohaan on heavy ground in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last time. That form puts him right in the mix.

Form: 11112

(2)

Fivethousandtoone²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: A M Balding| OR: 110| D

14/1

Found only one too good having been sent off favourite for the Mill Reef Stakes. Perhaps found soft ground against him in the Dewhurst a month later but this no easy reappearance assignment.

Form: 2127-

(11)

Jumby³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 104| C| D

11/1

Made a winning debut (7f) at this course last year and shaped well in a strong handicap before resuming winning ways at Newmarket (6f) last month. That form is working out but this is a jump in class.

Form: 143-31

(13)

Laws Of Indices^t1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C D Hayes| T: K J Condon| OR: 107| D

25/1

Shock winner of the Railway Stakes at the Curragh prior to creditable efforts in couple of Group 1 contests. No obvious reason why he'll reverse the Lacken Stakes form with A Case of You. Tongue tied.

Form: 1473-54

(12)

Lipizzaner^b1,t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 103| BF| D

33/1

Fourth to The Lir Jet in the Norfolk Stakes (5f) at this meeting last year and went on to win a listed event at Doncaster. Had no real excuses when only sixth to A Case of You latest. Blinkers added.

Form: 6214-36

(9)

Mighty Gurkha^b⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 101| D

80/1

Useful front runner who won an AW Group 3 last autumn. Ran up to form when fourth of 8 in the Pavilion Stakes over C&D in April and dominating this field likely too big an ask.

Form: 002-124

(5)

The Lir Jet^t1,v1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M L W Bell| OR: 108| BF| C

50/1

Norfolk Stakes winner a year ago. Hasn’t really progressed though, unable to build on an encouraging reappearance in the Greenham Stakes (7f) when finishing last in the Sandy Lane. Headgear fitted.

Form: 2257-30

(14)

Campanelle^b,t²²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Dettori| T: Wesley Ward| OR: 113| C| D

5/1

Queen Mary winner who completed hat-trick in the Prix Morny at Deauville before losing unbeaten record upped to 1m in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland. This her long-term target.

Form: 1114-

(21)

Dandalla²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 102| CD

33/1

Triple-winner as a juvenile, including the Albany at this meeting but a couple of heavy defeats this spring raise serious questions.

Form: 1115-76

(7)

Happy Romance³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 105| D

50/1

Useful juvenile who picked up some nice prizes before a creditable fourth in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket. Needs to leave latest fifth at Newbury well behind to feature in this.

Form: 114-015

(10)

Isabella Giles²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 107| D

22/1

Won 4 times in 2020, including Prestige Stakes at Goodwood and Rockfel at Newmarket. Form has rather levelled off this term and she's back in Group 1 company here.

Form: 119-636

(16)

Measure Of Magic⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Coen| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 106| D

11/1

Consistent last year but has taken her form to another level this time around, winning a couple of listed races at Navan and Cork. Had plenty in hand latterly and she's worth a shot at this grade.

Form: 3733-11

(1)

Mooneista³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: W M Lordan| T: J Davison| OR: 102

40/1

Won a listed event (5f) at Naas in April and was narrowly beaten by A Case of You in the Lacken Stakes last time (demoted to third for bumping rival). Progressive filly but this asks for more.

Form: 31-321D

(8)

Suesa³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: W Buick| T: Francois Rohaut| OR: 112| D

9/4

Unbeaten in 4 races at Chantilly, namely newcomers/listed race at 2 (for Carlos Laffon-Parias) and a pair of Group 3s (latter from Louliana, who won a listed next time) this spring. Strong claims.

Form: 11-11

SUESA has passed each of her 4 Chantilly assignments with flying colours and is every inch a Group-1 filly in the making, so she can take this prize across the Channel for Francois Rohaut. Fellow overseas raider Campanelle landed the Queen Mary at this meeting a year ago and 6f looks her ideal trip so she is feared most, with Method interesting of the home contingent.
