Caernarfon²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 105

33/1

Reached the frame in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks last year. Satisfactory return in the Dahlia at Newmarket but well beaten in the Middleton at York just 11 days later. Unexposed over this sort of trip and down in class here, but will need to be at the top of her game.

Form: 3656-35

Ching Shih³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 99

22/1

Good efforts in the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury and Park Hill at Doncaster last term. Might have needed comeback in listed contest at Goodwood 5 weeks ago but it was still an underwhelming display all told.

Form: 38245-6

Lady Boba¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 99| D

6/1

Improving filly who chased home Madame Ambassador in 1¼m Newmarket handicap in October and landed Fontainebleau listed event over that trip to end 2023. Should have more to offer this year, including over this trip.

Madame Ambassador^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 98| D

16/1

Took form to another level when winning a pair of 1¼m Newmarket handicaps last autumn (from Lady Boba second occasion) and back to winning ways in Ayr listed event over that trip last month. More needed again back up in distance but clearly going the right way still.

Form: 2114-51

Mistral Star¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: H Morrison| OR: 100| BF| D

12/1

Did well last year, winning Salisbury handicap over this trip and second in Saint-Cloud listed race final start. Gambled on and shaped well behind Madame Ambassador on return at Ayr, typically travelling well before tiring late on. Should be better for that and one to note back up in distance.

Form: 31412-5

Moogie^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 82

80/1

Three-time winner on AW but proved herself fully effective on turf as she did best of the older fillies behind a 3-y-o handicap debutante when second at Ascot (1¼m) in first-time hood 4 weeks ago. This is much tougher back up in trip.

Form: 9711-52

Night Sparkle¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: A M Balding| OR: 104| C

9/2

Progressive on the Flat for Michael O'Callaghan last summer and better effort second run for this yard when going close in York Group 3 over further on return. Successful on only other visit here and she's respected back in trip.

Form: 5/1118-2

Queen Of The Pride³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 100

9/2

Leicester maiden winner in September and no surprise she proved all stamina (dam was a St Leger winner) as she ran a blinder in listed Goodwood race over this trip on return, doing especially well considering she was the only one of the first 4 not to have run already this season. More to come.

Form: 81-2

Sapphire Seas²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: C Appleby| OR: 104| C

4/1

Went from strength to strength last term, completing 4-timer when readily landing 14-runner listed race at Yarmouth. Solid efforts in Meydan and York Group 2s since 3 months apart and couldn't dismiss on first crack at this trip.

Form: 1111-24

Scenic³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 89| D

25/1

Put experience to good use to open her account at the tenth attempt after 7 months off in Kempton fillies' novice over this trip 4 weeks ago. First crack at this level and will surely find it too tough.

Form: 43722-1

Sea Theme²⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| D

4/1

Looked a smart prospect when landing good York listed event over this trip last summer. Final run easily excused (sweated up) and every chance she'll have more to offer after just 4 starts for top stable. Big player.

Starry Heavens^p,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 95

33/1

Listed winner in France last summer and good effort over this trip at the Curragh a fortnight ago fitted with first-time tongue tie. More needed to take a hand here.

Wynter Wildes^p⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 90| CD

150/1

Successful 3 times in handicaps at around this trip during a productive 2023 campaign (including 3-runner C&D event). Well held in Epsom handicap on return 7 weeks ago and faces a stiff task now.

William Haggas has sent out fillies by Sea The Stars to win this for the last 2 years and SEA THEME can complete a unique hat-trick for the stable. She landed a good listed race at York over this trip last summer and seems sure to have more to offer in 2024 having made just 4 starts overall. Queen of The Pride ran a screamer on her return at Goodwood and seems sure to improve again. Sapphire Seas is a firm player also if her stamina lasts out.
