Tregony²⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 91| D

9/1

Superb strike rate, completing a 4-timer in 2021 and signed off 2022 with a hat-trick of big-field handicap victories on the AW. Equally effective on turf but off 8 months and this mark leaves no margin for error

Queen Of The Skies²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 89| D

9/1

AW novice winner on second start a year ago. Limitations rather exposed at a higher level later in 2022 and since left John & Thady Gosden. Handicaps more suitable on return to action.

Perfect Thunder²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: P Owens| OR: 84

33/1

Got the better of subsequent Irish Oaks second/listed winner Toy when landing a 7f maiden at the Curragh for Joseph O'Brien last spring. Made the frame in 3 handicaps later in 2022 and was shaping up nicely until a lack of an outing told on last month's reappearance for new yard. Up in trip.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| BF| CD

16/1

Can boast an excellent Beverley record, winning 5 times in all at this venue, most recently in July over 8.5f. Just a couple of fair efforts last month and others are more persuasive back up in trip.

My Little Queens²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

17/2

Returned an improved performer this spring, making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford and better than ever for latest win at Hamilton a month ago (9.2f). Up 4 lb but she's thriving so has to be respected.

Form: 353-121

Reach⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 71| D

7/4

Caught the eye when fourth in a good-quality handicap at York last month and down in grade, she didn't need to come off the bridle to justify favouritism at Nottingham a week ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but she's improving fast and looks the one to beat.

Golden Melody¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73| C| D

12/1

Thirsk winner over 1m in September and easily best effort since when second over 9.8f at Ripon 10 days ago, nearest finish. Up 3 lb and this is a deeper race.

Form: 29-3752

Leitzel²⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85

9/1

Maiden/novice winner at up to 1m first 2 starts at Haydock in August/September. Found Group 2 company all too much in the Rockfel Stakes and off since but she's something of an unknown quantity now handicapping up in distance.

Form: 110-

Dubai Crystal²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: F Norton| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

5/1

Bred to be smart and left previous efforts well behind when making all in good style at Redcar in April. Progressed again when second on handicap debut at Ascot and limit hasn't yet been reached.

Form: 2-612

Sophiesticate¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 68| D

66/1

Solid efforts at best in a quartet of starts in 2023 and others boast more scope.

Form: 79-4448

Centre Court⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 79

12/1

Doubled tally at Newcastle in April. Last couple of runs on turf suggest the assessor has her about right.

Form: 4-51554

Forecasts

Reach (7/4), Dubai Crystal (5/1), My Little Queens (17/2), Queen Of The Skies (9/1), Tregony (9/1), Leitzel (9/1), Centre Court (12/1), Golden Melody (12/1), Casilli (16/1), Perfect Thunder (33/1), Sophiesticate (66/1)

REACH Is improving at a rate of knots, taking care of 8 rivals with the minimum of fuss at Nottingham last week and a penalty/step up in grade may not stop her going in again. Dubai Crystal's profile is a progressive one and she's feared, with Perfect Thunder one to consider at longer odds.
