Astral Beau³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 102| D

9/2

Useful mare who acquitted herself with credit in pattern company last season and she's run with credit on 2 of her 3 starts this term, 2 lengths fifth of 8 in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f) 38 days ago. Should give a good account of herself again down in class.

Form: 348-255

Caernarfon³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon| OR: 102| D

14/1

Reached the frame in the 1000 Guineas and Oaks last year. Satisfactory return in the Dahlia at Newmarket but she's finished well held in Group 2/3 subsequently. Ease in class may help dropping back significantly in trip.

Form: 656-350

Doha²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95| D

5/4

Boasts an excellent pedigree and on the way to proving herself a smart performer, improving a chunk when landing 29-runner Kensington Palace Stakes (1m) at the Royal Meeting 3 weeks ago, pulling clear with the runner-up. Well worth her place at this level on that evidence.

Form: 341-21

Dora Milaje¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| CD

17/2

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who ran well when runner-up at Wetherby (10f) on her penultimate start and did well under the circumstances when taking 6-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 17 days ago. More needed up in grade but she's a C&D winner building up a good strike rate.

Form: 1/13-521

(5)

Elim²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 83| D

15/2

Dual 1m winner at 2yrs. Shaped well when fourth at Redcar on her return and not disgraced when sixth of 24 behind Doha at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 18 days ago given she was not ideally placed. More needed on these terms but likely she has a bigger effort in her locker.

Form: 2/211-46

Naaey³²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

10/1

Form of her Kempton debut second as a 2-y-o worked out well and she duly confirmed the promise shown there when landing 12-runner Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) last August. Absent again since but she's in very good hands and interesting she's pitched in here.

Form: 2/1-

Strong Impact^b1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 81

40/1

Winner at Epsom last October who went desperately close to opening her 2024 account at Hamilton (9f) early on last month. Not disgraced when fourth at Haydock (10.2f) 17 days ago, but this demands another sizeable step forward tackling listed company. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 21-4524

(4)

Villanova Queen²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 98| D

17/2

Irish raider who came in for an astute tactical ride when landing last year's Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot and produced just about her best effort since when ninth behind Doha in this year's renewal 3 weeks ago. Not discounted back at listed level for her very good stable.

Form: 786-469

Forecasts

Doha (5/4), Choisya (7/2), Astral Beau (9/2), Elim (15/2), Dora Milaje (17/2), Villanova Queen (17/2), Naaey (10/1), Caernarfon (14/1), Strong Impact (40/1)

Having shaped encouragingly on her return, the regally bred DOHA confirmed she's on the way to developing into a smart performer when landing the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot 3 weeks ago. Well on top with the runner-up that day, she's worth her place at this level and shades the vote ahead of the likeable Choisya. Astral Beau back in slightly calmer waters and very low-mileage Naaey are others to bear in mind.
