Fairly useful filly who has made a positive start for this yard but looks out of her depth here.

Smart mare who was down the field in Pretty Polly Stakes over C&D 71 days ago but would have place claims on her best form.

Smart filly. 32/1, good 4 lengths fourth of 8 to Mqse De Sevigne in Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, running on. Form pick who deserves plenty of respect dropping back in grade with cheekpieces fitted.

9/2
Looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Newbury (7f, heavy) and confirmed those impressions since, taking her tally to three in Prix Chloe at Chantilly 56 days ago. Strong claims with even more to come.

Useful filly who scored at Naas in May. Not disgraced in a Grade 3 at Saratoga last time but this is probably beyond her.

Well-bred filly who upped her game to run out a convincing winner of a Group 3 at Gowran last time. Scope for better still and another bold showing is expected.

Useful filly. 51/10, creditable head second of 5 to Jannah Rose in Prix Alec Head at Deauville (9.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago, battling well. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go well again.

Progressive sort who was unlucky not to finish closer when third in Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at this course last time. Open to further improvement and could get involved.

Smart filly who chased home Blue Rose Cen in French Oaks at Chantilly but hasn't reproduced that form since. Could feature if back to her best.

Useful filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at this course (9f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago by neck from American Sonja. More required but not completely dismissed.

5/1
Likeable type who made all in a listed race at the Curragh before improving further to finish an excellent second in the Royal Whip Stakes at same track. Not discounted.

Forecasts

Jackie Oh (16/5), Araminta (9/2), Unless (5/1), Lumiere Rock (6/1), Insinuendo (15/2), Trevaunance (8/1), Never Ending Story (14/1), Mashia (14/1), Caroline Street (18/1), Red Riding Hood (20/1), Alanya (28/1)

Verdict

JACKIE OH was most impressive when landing a Group 3 at Gowran last time and, with further progress expected, he can get the better of Trevaunance, who sets the standard. Araminta is also on the up and deserves plenty of respect.
