Concert Hall¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 108

15/2

Group 3 winner at 2 yrs and made a winning return in listed race at Navan (10f). Ran well considering the drop back in trip was against her when third (½ length behind Tuesday) in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh 12 days ago. This trip should prove to be much more suitable so must be respected.

Form: 7416-13

Emily Upjohn²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 110

6/4

Sea The Stars filly who made a winning debut with something to spare at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November and defied a penalty in some style at Sandown on return. Further enhanced her reputation when winning the Musidora at York by 5½ lengths and this step up in trip is sure to suit. Leading claims.

Form: 1-11

Kawida³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: E Walker| OR: 99

40/1

Ended her 2-y-o campaign with a win at listed level over 1m at Newmarket. Ran well when a close third in Group 3 Prix Cleopatre at Saint-Cloud (10f) 5 weeks ago but this is a tough ask.

Form: 2211-3

Moon De Vega³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

50/1

Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing maiden at Doncaster (1m) in October. Shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth behind Thoughts of June in the Cheshire Oaks on return, badly hampered by weakening rivals over 2f out. Still has plenty to find, however.

Form: 551-4

(6)

Nashwa²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 107

4/1

Frankel filly who confirmed debut promise when bolting up in a Haydock novice (1m) on return. Took another big step forward when following up in a listed event at Newbury (10f) in impressive fashion 3 weeks ago, showing a good turn of foot from off the pace. Claims if this trip doesn't stretch her.

Form: 3-11

(7)

Rogue Millennium²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 95| D

22/1

Made a successful debut at Wetherby before overcoming inexperience when a narrow winner of the Lingfield Oaks Trial last month. Bare form is nothing special so she needs to improve markedly, but she remains with potential at least.

Form: 11

(2)

The Algarve²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C T Keane| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 93

66/1

American Pharoah filly out of Irish 1000 Guineas/Oaks winner Imagine. Got better with each run at 2, making all in 1m heavy-ground maiden at Galway final start. Couldn't live with Emily Upjohn in Musidora Stakes at York on return for all she might have needed the run. Plenty to find.

Form: 741-4

(9)

Thoughts Of June³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102

14/1

Surpassed 2-y-o form when second in maiden at Leopardstown on return and took a huge leap forward when beating subsequent Group 1 winner Above The Curve in the Cheshire Oaks last month, though very much having run of the race. Will find this much harder to dominate.

Form: 25-21

(3)

Tranquil Lady²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 107

16/1

Runner-up in a listed event at the Curragh on final 2-y-o start and proved all the better for return when 4-length winner of a Group 3 at Naas (10f). That performance earnt her a tilt at this and likely to stay this far.

Form: 812-41

(1)

Tuesday¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 109| BF

13/2

Sister to 1000 Guineas/Oaks winner Minding who landed the odds with a good deal to spare in 17-runner maiden at Naas on return. Much improved when placed in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Curragh next 2 starts, shaping like a middle-distance filly. Big run expected.

Form: 2-132

(8)

With The Moonlight³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 107

11/1

Very much the sort to make a better 3-y-o than 2-yo and she duly found plenty of improvement to put herself into the Oaks picture when a clear-cut winner of the Pretty Polly at Newmarket on her return last month, pulling away as if this trip will be well within reach. Not to be underestimated.

Form: 4113-1

Forecasts

Emily Upjohn (6/4), Nashwa (4/1), Tuesday (13/2), Concert Hall (15/2), With The Moonlight (11/1), Thoughts Of June (14/1), Tranquil Lady (16/1), Rogue Millennium (22/1), Kawida (40/1), Moon De Vega (50/1), The Algarve (66/1)

EMILY UPJOHN created an excellent impression when winning both starts this season, notably when producing a very good timefigure in the Musidora at York last month. Her form isn't that much better than some of her rivals', but she remains a filly with huge potential and she's likely to be well suited by this extra distance. Tuesday shaped as if this stiffer test will very much suit when placed in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Curragh so rates the main threat ahead of With The Moonlight.
