Free Wind⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 115| BF| C

10/11

Very talented mare who enhanced her fine strike rate in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes on return at York in May. Reportedly ran flat when fifth in Hardwicke at Royal Ascot next time but no surprise to see a much better showing back up in trip.

Form: 211/1-15

Luisa Casati²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 105| C

11/1

Useful mare who built on solid return in France to land 12f listed event here in May. Similar form despite not being ideally placed when fifth in Lancashire Oaks since and she holds each-way claims with forecast conditions holding no fears.

Form: 56/4-315

(7)

Peripatetic²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 105| C

14/1

Progressive sort who made the frame in pair of Group 3s during second half of last year and picked up where she left off to land 12f listed event here in June. Struggled to make an impact in Group 2 Lancashire Oaks 4 weeks ago and now has her first crack at 14f.

Form: 2124-16

(6)

River Of Stars²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 106| D

10/3

Smart filly who proved most game when landing Group 3 Bronte Cup on return at York and ran another cracker to finish second in a Longchamp Group 2 (14f) 3 weeks ago. A repeat of that form should see her thereabouts.

Form: 2115-12

(3)

Time Lock²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 102| BF

9/2

In the frame in good company this year, not beaten too far when fourth in Lancashire Oaks at Haydock (11.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Return to this slower surface rates a likely plus and unlikely we've seen the best of her yet.

Form: 122-244

(4)

Divina Grace¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 81

66/1

Resumed with 10f success at Chepstow in June and ran well both starts in handicaps subsequently, likely to have benefited from setting a stronger pace when third at Newbury (13.3f) latest. Longer trip worth exploring but this a tough ask up markedly in grade.

Form: 935-123

(5)

Ghara^h1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 95

50/1

Landed small-field Yarmouth maiden (11.5f) in June and ran to similar level when 11¼ lengths ninth of 17 in Ribblesdale Stakes (100/1) at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm) next time, faring best of those held up. Needs to step forward to make more impact here.

Form: 6-0419

Sumo Sam^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: P & O Cole| OR: 94

25/1

Nathaniel filly who scored on her debut at Newmarket last autumn and has reached a useful level without tasting success this term, getting going too late following a very slow start in handicap at Ascot (12f) 3 weeks ago. Ground unlikely to pose any problems but more needed nevertheless.

Form: 1-25385

Forecasts

Free Wind (10/11), River Of Stars (10/3), Time Lock (9/2), Luisa Casati (11/1), Peripatetic (14/1), Sumo Sam (25/1), Ghara (50/1), Divina Grace (66/1)

FREE WIND was below her best in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot but she undoubtedly remains one to be positive about now stepping back up in trip and, in the hope underfoot conditions don't catch her out (dam was well proven in the mud) she can get back to winning ways. River of Stars, who finished in a French Group 2 latest, and Time Lock can prove the chief threats.
