525,000 gns breeze-up buy who has made a good start, placed in 6.5f Doncaster maiden and 6f C&D listed race (neck behind Tales of The Heart). Can progress further.

95,000 gns Zoustar filly out of a May Hill winner. Off the mark in 9-runner 5f maiden at Thirsk in May and took another step forward when making all in valuable 6f Carlisle novice. Will go on improving and well worth a crack at this level.

Won her first 3 starts, getting hat-trick up in the National Stakes at Sandown. Struggled on firmer ground in the Queen Mary (ridden more prominently in a much larger field than before) and steps up in trip now.

Confirmed debut promise when winning 17-runner 6f maiden at Fairyhouse last month, again showing good speed. Will go on improving.

Readily off the mark in 6f Curragh maiden in May and took another big step forward when third to impressive stablemate Fairy Godmother in the Albany. Should progress further and sets a good standard.

Bred for speed and knew her job when comfortably landing a thin 6f fillies' maiden at Hamilton. More to come. Withdrawn after becoming fractious in stall prior to latest intended start in Albany Stakes, Jun 21.

11/1
Created a very favourable impression when landing 5f Thirsk maiden on debut and improved form in defeat since up in class, a bit better than the result as well after meeting trouble when third in the Queen Mary. Can do better again and not to be underestimated up in trip here.

7/1
From the family of smart 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Signora Cabello and has made a very promising start, runner-up in 6f Curragh novice and then the Queen Mary, coming out top on her side of the track and a shade better than the result as well. Return to 6f will suit and will go on improving.

7/2
Looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts here on the other track, coming clear with plenty in hand over 6f second occasion. Didn't improve again as expected when just fourth behind Heavens Gate in the Albany but too soon to say she hasn't got a bigger performance in her.

7/1
400,000 gns yearling who made a winning start to her career over 6f at Kempton last month and improved when second in C&D listed contest a fortnight ago, not quicken only late on. Can do better again.

33/1
Progressive as she won 6f Chester maiden and the Woodcote at Epsom but struggled on firmer ground when behind a couple of these in C&D listed contest a fortnight ago. Plenty to find.

Forecasts

Heavens Gate (15/8), Mountain Breeze (7/2), Tales Of The Heart (7/1), Mighty Eriu (7/1), Maw Lam (11/1), Arabian Dusk (12/1), Fiery Lucy (12/1), Bountiful (22/1), Liberalised (28/1), Teej A (33/1), Enchanting Empress (80/1)

Verdict

HEAVENS GATE sets the standard on her third to stablemate Fairy Godmother in the Albany and with more improvement to come, she could be hard to beat. Queen Mary second and third Mighty Eriu and Maw Lam are key players, while Tales of the Heart and Arabian Dusk filled the same positions in a listed race here recently and should have more to offer.
