Breege^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 104

12/1

Useful filly who deservedly resumed winning ways in Group 3 Princess Elizabeth at Epsom (8.5f) in June. Blinkered when a good second of 6 to Al Shabab Storm in listed race at Chester (7f, soft) 18 days ago so needs considering.

Form: 42-3172

Sea Of Thieves^t⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C Demuro| T: Mario Baratti| OR: 87| D

18/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who took a big step forward starting out for this yard (formerly with Ed Walker) when winning listed race at Longchamp in April. Not disgraced when 2¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Breege in Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 1265-17

Vetiver^h,t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 99| D

11/2

Bounced back to form when landing 8-runner listed race (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago by neck from Cloud Cover. Not taken lightly in her current mood.

Form: 135-061

Pretty Crystal^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 105| D

12/1

Kickstarted 2024 with victory in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f) but down the field since in the 1000 Guineas there and Summer Stakes at York (6f). Cheekpieces go on for the first time now with something to prove.

Form: 244-100

Jabaara¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: R Varian| OR: 108| D

5/2

Improving Exceed And Excel filly who notched 7f listed wins at Musselburgh and Carlisle in June before coming in an excellent second of seven in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good) 19 days ago. Player.

Form: 26-3112

(2)

Kathmandu^t1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 110| D

3/1

Useful filly who backed up a very good runner-up in Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp with a solid fifth of 12 in Prix Jean Prat at Deauville (7f, good) 24 days ago. Holds very good form claims with tongue tie added.

Form: 51-325

(6)

Raqiya¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 101

7/1

Progressive Blue Point filly who resumed with 6f listed success at Salisbury in May. Backed it up with a good 2 lengths sixth of 12 in Summer Stakes at York (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Not ruled out stepping up to 7f.

Form: 4115-16

(11)

Stop The Cavalry¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

17/2

Lope De Vega filly who was much improved after 8 months off when readily making it 2-3 with reappearance victory in 6f Chester handicap 18 days ago. This is much tougher but she's in very good hands and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 15-1

(8)

Ziggy's Dream³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 92| D

50/1

Useful effort to win a heavy-ground 7f listed race in Milan in May and she wasn't disgraced when twelfth of 19 to Haatem in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) since. This is no easy ask though.

Form: 81-1410

Forecasts

Jabaara (5/2), Kathmandu (3/1), Fair Angellica (9/2), Vetiver (11/2), Raqiya (7/1), Stop The Cavalry (17/2), Breege (12/1), Pretty Crystal (12/1), Armira (12/1), Sea Of Thieves (18/1), Ziggy's Dream (50/1)

This looks wide open but Roger Varian's JABAARA ran a cracker when runner-up in Newmarket's Falmouth Stakes last time out and can quickly resume winning ways in this lower grade. Kathmandu has the form to play a big part after two good efforts in Group 1s in France and is next on the list, although Ralph Beckett's unexposed Stop The Cavalry is another to consider along with older fillies Vetiver and Breege.
