American Kestrel⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C Soumillon| T: D Menuisier| OR: 92| D

66/1

Fairly useful filly. Off for 7 months since posting a creditable fifth in listed race at Longchamp (7f, heavy) on her sole run for Joseph O'Brien. Back with former yard now and no forlorn hope.

Form: 9/6525-0

Fast Response¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 104

4/1

Three-time 5f/6f winner on testing ground last autumn. Yet to score this term but she comes here on the back of a very good second of 10 to Holguin in 7f listed race at Chester 18 days ago. Can make her presence felt again.

Form: 71-2542

Internationalangel²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 99| D

16/1

Useful mare. Not disgraced when 3¼ lengths fifth of 7 to White Moonlight in listed race at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago. It's now thirteen runs since her last win in 2022, however.

Form: 3-86305

Samedi Rien⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: G Arizkorreta Elosegui| OR: 100| D

22/1

Useful Spanish filly who arrives in good nick, second of 9 in minor event at Madrid (8f, good) 46 days ago. She has won on soft ground too and can't be dismissed.

Form: 411-332

(15)

Sicilian Defense^t1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alexis Pouchin| T: Y Barberot| OR: 102| D

10/1

Useful French filly who landed Longchamp listed race in May before posting a creditable 3¾ lengths fourth in Prix de la Porte Maillot there month later. Has a turn of foot and needs considering.

Form: 143-614

(7)

White Moonlight²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 106| D

9/2

Arrives on the up and bidding for a hat-trick following 7f listed wins at Musselburgh and Chelmsford City this summer. This is tougher but she is proven on a soft surface and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 227511

(3)

Breege⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 105

4/1

Smart filly who took her form up a level when an excellent second of 29 in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Proven on soft ground too so this low-mileage filly is not taken lightly.

Form: 2325-72

(8)

Dream Of Love⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 102| D

15/2

Useful filly who backed up a good third in the German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf with a solid seventh of 29 under top weight in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Possibilities.

Form: 13-2037

(10)

Glenlaurel³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: N Callan| T: K A Ryan| OR: 93

22/1

Consistent sort who recorded a creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Vetiver in listed race at Carlisle (7f, soft) 35 days ago. This demands a clear personal best, though.

Form: 168-474

(4)

Juliet Sierra¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 97

28/1

Fairly useful 6f juvenile winner who wasn't disgraced when 3¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Swingalong in Summer Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. This is no easy ask.

Form: 2115-88

(14)

Magical Sunset²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: R Hannon| OR: 100| D

18/1

Likeable type who comes here in good nick, close seventh of 11 to Mystic Pearl in listed race at Sandown (8f, good) 25 days ago. A winner in the mud so she's much respected.

Form: 1-56487

(16)

Matilda Picotte^p⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R P Whelan| T: K P Cotter| OR: 104

11/2

Useful Irish filly who came in a good third in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May. Raced in unfavoured centre when fourth to Little Big Bear in Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last time and not to be underestimated.

Form: 231-234

(11)

Sydneyarms Chelsea^h1³¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 99| D

40/1

Useful juvenile who landed Group 3 Prix Six Perfections at Deauville (7f) before signing off with a good fifth in Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket (7f). Off 10 months and this is no easy return. Hood on for 1st time.

Forecasts

Breege (4/1), Fast Response (4/1), White Moonlight (9/2), Jumbly (5/1), Matilda Picotte (11/2), Dream Of Love (15/2), Sicilian Defense (10/1), Olivia Maralda (12/1), Internationalangel (16/1), Magical Sunset (18/1), Rage Of Bamby (20/1), Glenlaurel (22/1), Samedi Rien (22/1), Juliet Sierra (28/1), Sydneyarms Chelsea (40/1), American Kestrel (66/1)

JUMBLY has started out well for Joseph O'Brien and shaped as though this return to 7f would be ideal when a fading fourth over 1m in Royal Ascot's Duke of Cambridge Stakes so edges the vote. Breege heads the list of dangers on the back of her excellent Sandringham runner-up effort at the Royal meeting, with Jersey-fifth Olivia Maralda and hat-trick seeking White Moonlight also in the mix in a very competitive Group 3 event.
