Won 3 times in 2022 and left her reappearance effort well behind to go in again at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May. Not beaten at all far in Kensington Palace at the Royal Meeting on penultimate start and likely did too much up with the pace back at that venue 17 days ago.

Listed scorer at 2 yrs who capitalised on an easing mark when successful at Doncaster (1m) in August of last year. However, absent since finishing last of 14 in Sky Bet Mile at York later that month and this rates a tough enough ask on return.

Matched pick of her 3-y-o form to make winning reappearance at Ayr (7.2f) in May and produced her best effort yet when second in Pontefract listed event 3 weeks ago, aided by a good front-running ride. Back up in the weights now but not discounted from handy draw.

Steadily progressive filly who ran out a ready winner of a Newbury novice (1m) in June. Similar form when midfield in listed Coral Distaff at Sandown subsequently but the assessor has taken no chances with her opening mark.

Promise when second on debut at Kempton in November and, following wind op, showed improved form to run out a ready winner on return at Haydock (1m) in April. Rather underwhelming when sixth of 8 at Listed level a month later but she remains with potential moving into handicaps. Possibilities.

AW novice winner in January who has steadily gone the right way since, opening her account in handicaps at Haydock (1m) in June. Raced closer to the pace than ideal in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and she's not out of things on balance.

7f nursery winner at 2 yrs who stepped up markedly on first 2 starts this term when registering a comfortable success in first-time blinkers at Ascot (1m) last month. Hit with an 8 lb hike for that and another with a less-than-ideal draw to overcome.

Progressive filly who doubled career tally over 7f here in May and has emerged with plenty of credit in defeat both starts since, short of room late on but keeping on for second at Sandown (7f) 24 days ago. Present mark looks workable and she's respected.

Largely campaigned as a sprinter but she found some improvement for the step up to 7f when running out a comfortable winner at Haydock 10 days ago, by 3 lengths from Lady Mojito. This understandably tougher but she's a likeable type and fancied to go well again.

Dubawi filly who opened her account in a Beverley maiden (8.5f) in May and duly progressed again to land 6-runner Sandown handicap (1m) a month later. Beat a subsequent listed winner then and she's respected from 5 lb higher for all her draw in 18 makes things tricky.

Kempton novice winner on debut in January and defied a penalty in good style at Lingfield (1m) a month later. Seemed unsuited by soft ground when well held in Newmarket listed event (10f) in May and she remains the type to do better back on better ground. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut.

Won a Leicester novice (7f) on debut last summer but has failed to match that level in trio of starts since, looking a hard ride when well-beaten in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June. Hood reached for now.

Promise when runner-up in pair of back-end novice events last term and recorded smooth success on return at Haydock (1m) in May. Handicap debut effort at Yarmouth 32 days ago was a shade disappointing but it remains early days with her.

Dual winner as a juvenile who bettered first 2 starts of this campaign when second to subsequent Royal Ascot scorer Burdett Road in handicap at Newbury (10f) 55 days ago. Undergone wind surgery since and she's one to note from handy draw in first-time cheekpieces.

Resumed progress to make a winning return at Nottingham 910.2f, heavy) in April and left a lesser display at Ascot behind when close-up fourth of 5 in handicap at Windsor (1m) 31 days ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this but more needed.

Fairly useful filly who finished placed first 4 starts and off the mark in workmanlike fashion in 8-runner Yarmouth maiden (7f) 2 weeks ago. Opening mark looks a workable one and no surprise to see her make an impact.

Built on reappearance run under well-judged ride to score at Pontefract (1m) 3 starts back and found only one on a roll too good at Bath next start. Not so well served by switch to patient tactics back at first-named venue latest but this more demanding in any case up in class.

Forecasts

Stormy Sea (4/1), Novus (5/1), Rowayeh (5/1), Choisya (10/1), Back See Daa (10/1), Bridestones (10/1), She's Hot (12/1), Royal Dress (14/1), Rajindri (14/1), Espressoo (14/1), Good Gracious (14/1), Lady Mojito (16/1), Zouzanna (16/1), Peace Of Mine (22/1), Floating Spirit (25/1), Belhaven (33/1), Hi Clare (33/1), System (33/1), Lady Alara (33/1), Youngest (66/1)

Verdict

STORMY SEA proved a little disappointing in a York listed race when last seen in May but the manner of her Haydock victory previously is well worth remembering and, from a handy draw, she could well be up to bouncing back for the yard that took this race 12 months ago. The upwardly mobile Rowayeh rates a big threat in pursuit of the hat-trick for all her draw in 18 makes things tricky. Rajindri, Royal Dress and Novus complete the shortlist.
