11/4
Really likeable filly who made all in the 1000 Guineas and just failed to pull off the same tactics in the French equivalent. Not seen since finishing fifth in the Coronation at Royal Ascot the following month but clearly the one to beat back down in class if retaining her ability.

Likeable type who handles the mud very well, as shown when winning Group 3 at Goodwood last month. Penalised for that but further rain will be in her favour.

Smart filly on AW but no so good on turf (yet to win on this surface). Others preferred.

Useful filly from Spain. Creditable 2 lengths third of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 28 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. More needed at this level.

Responded well to this headgear when winning 10-runner listed race (8/1) at Naas (soft). Just respectable fourth in Group 3 there next time.

Fairly useful filly on balance and didn't look an easy ride when third in listed race at Galway latest. Difficult ask unless first-time headgear sparks big improvement.

6/1
Good third in the German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf and backed that up when a solid seventh of 29 under top weight in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Creditable 2¾ lengths third behind Magical Sunset in Group 3 at Goodwood (7f, heavy) since and 3 lb better off with winner here.

Useful front-running filly who got back to her best when runner-up in Group 3 at Tipperary 2 weeks ago. Frame claims if reproducing that.

Progressive filly who completed hat-trick in impressive fashion in big-field handicap at York's Ebor meeting. Smart prospect who now looks ready for this level.

16/1
Dual novice winner who didn't need to improve on her handicap debut effort to land a weak listed event at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 81 days ago, scoring with a bit in hand in a first-time tongue strap. This demands more.

Forecasts

Cachet (11/4), Nigiri (3/1), Matilda Picotte (6/1), Dream Of Love (6/1), Potapova (15/2), Magical Sunset (8/1), Queen Aminatu (12/1), Clounmacon (14/1), Vetiver (16/1), Cell Sa Beela (16/1), Samedi Rien (25/1), Dandy Alys (50/1)

Verdict

Last year's 1000 Guineas winner CACHET will prove hard to beat if ready to go after 15 months off. Highly progressive 3-y-o Nigiri shouldn't be underestimated up in grade.
