Alcohol Free⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 110| BF

11/2

Generally progressive filly who landed the Cheveley Park last year. Only fifth to Mother Earth in the 1000 Guineas last time and no obvious reason to think she'll reverse the form.

Form: 121-15

(4)

Empress Josephine²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 109| D

6/1

Tremendously well-bred filly who surged home to get up late in the Irish 1000 Guineas. No reason to think this vastly quicker ground will be an inconvenience

Form: 1021

Fev Rover²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 108

18/1

Smart filly who ran a huge race to finish third in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, then didn't get a clear run in the Irish equivalent last month. Likeable sort who can't be discounted.

Form: 2114-30

(6)

Flirting Bridge⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W M Lordan| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 101| D

50/1

Won as a juvenile and seemed to improve her form when runner-up in the 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in May. She's way short of the standard required to compete in this, though.

Form: 531-82

(12)

Lullaby Moon³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: R M Beckett| OR: 104

22/1

Had a 4-6 record last year, bagging valuable Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar before ending her campaign with 7f Chantilly Group 3 success (both heavy). Disappointing in France on reappearance, though.

Form: 01311-0

Mother Earth³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 111| D

9/2

Highly likeable filly who landed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and found only one too good in the French version last month. Sets the standard and should put up another very bold showing.

Form: 3032-12

(1)

Novemba¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: P Schiergen| OR: 115| D

15/2

Left all previous form behind when making all in sensational style to land the German 1000 Guineas, so no surprise she's made the trip to have a crack at this. Warrants respect.

Form: 3172-41

(7)

Potapova³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 100

14/1

Highly promising type who has landed both starts in novices with any amount in hand, cruising away to land prohibitive odds at Redcar 32 days ago. Marked step up in grade is understandable.

Form: 1-1

(5)

Pretty Gorgeous²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 112| BF| D

4/1

Impressive as a 2yo, signing off with a comfortable success in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Liable to strip fitter for her sub-par return in the Irish 1000 Guineas, so she's a definite player.

Form: 12121-7

(13)

Shale⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 112| BF| D

17/2

Three-time winner as a 2yo, including the Moyglare Stud Stakes. Shaped as if in need of her reappearance a couple of months ago and she'd be a player on her best form.

Form: 11216-5

(2)

Snow Lantern³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 97| BF| D

14/1

Out of Sky Lantern and confirmed debut promise when impressive Newbur maiden winner on return. Latest third to Primo Bacio in listed company was a touch disappointing, but she remains with potential.

Form: 2-13

Forecasts

Pretty Gorgeous (4/1), Mother Earth (9/2), Alcohol Free (11/2), Empress Josephine (6/1), Primo Bacio (6/1), Novemba (15/2), Shale (17/2), Snow Lantern (14/1), Potapova (14/1), Fev Rover (18/1), Lullaby Moon (22/1), Oodnadatta (33/1), Flirting Bridge (50/1)

MOTHER EARTH wasn't far off landing the British/French 1000 Guineas double and, with the best form, she's a solid option to get back to winning ways in what looks an up-to-scratch Coronation Stakes. Stablemate and Irish Guineas winner Empress Josephine looks a big threat, while Pretty Gorgeous is a player based on 2-y-o form.
