Alice Fairfax⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: K A Ryan| D

9/1

Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Subaltern. Dam 1m winner. All the better for debut when narrow winner of Thirsk novice. Should progress again but needs to in this grade.

Form: 41

Aviation Time²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: R Hughes| OR: 95| D

16/1

Flashed her tail but did everything else right when winning 11-runner novice event at Kempton (6f) on debut. Easily best effort since when excellent third of 27 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Excuses at Deauville since. Respected back at 6f.

Betty Clover³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 90

22/1

Time Test filly who overcame a slow start in 14-runner novice at Bath on debut, well on top finish. Not seen to best effect at Salisbury but firmly back on track when winning 15-runner listed race at York (5f, good). Not disgraced in Queen Mary since and looks ready for 6f now.

Form: 1218

Definitive²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: C G Cox| D

14/1

130,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel filly. Sister to 7f winner Arctician. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class miler Lightning Spear. Overcame a slow start when winning 9-runner maiden at Haydock (6f) on debut 23 days ago. Placed horses haven't done much for the form but she's capable of better.

Form: 1

Handcuffed²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| D

11/2

Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Tactical and 2-y-o 6f winner Works of Art. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Justified market confidence when readily making a winning debut in 9-runner novice at Newbury (6f, good) 23 days ago. Open to significant improvement and sure to win more races.

Form: 1

Mandurah²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| D

7/1

Kingman filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 8.5f-1¼m winner Mandour out of very smart 1m-1½m winner Mandesha. 5/1, won 11-runner novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 29 days ago, firmly in control once she hit the front. Should have more to offer.

Form: 1

Simmering³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: Ollie Sangster

11/8

Confirmed debut promise when runner-up in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot over C&D (good to firm) 5 weeks ago, running on from the rear but unable to match winner's late surge. Sets a clear standard on that form.

Form: 32

Tales Of The Heart¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95| D

11/2

400,000 gns yearling who made a winning start to her career over 6f at Kempton last month and improved when second in Newmarket listed contest. Similar form when sixth of 11 in Group 2 there 2 weeks ago and not taken lightly back down in class.

Form: 126

Forecasts

Simmering (11/8), Tales Of The Heart (11/2), Handcuffed (11/2), Mandurah (7/1), Alice Fairfax (9/1), Definitive (14/1), Aviation Time (16/1), Miss El Fundi (20/1), Betty Clover (22/1)

It took a remarkable performance from the winner to deny SIMMERING the win in the Albany at Royal Ascot and Ollie Sangster's filly is fancied to go one better. Handcuffed looked an exciting prospect when justifying market confidence at Newbury and is next best ahead of Aviation Time, who was third in the Windsor Castle here 2 starts back.
