Emily Upjohn²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 116| BF| C| D

7/2

High-class mare but not at that level this season, though a reproduction of her Pretty Polly second at the Curragh puts her bang in the mix, and she was an impressive winner of the Musidora as a 3-y-o on her only visit here.

Form: 27-5426

(4)

Mistral Star³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: H Morrison| OR: 106| D

11/1

Steadily progressive and proved suited by the strong pace when comfortable winner of Newmarket listed race last month. That form is solid so she's not taken lightly despite this big step up in class.

Form: 412-531

(6)

Queen Of The Pride⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 111| D

10/3

Beautifully-bred filly who won the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock on only her fourth career start and took a big step forward when following up in Lancashire Oaks there 7 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and bold bid expected.

Form: 81-211

Sea Theme²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 106| BF| CD

11/1

Looked a smart prospect when landing good C&D listed event at this meeting last summer. Failed to build on that next 3 starts but came good when wide-margin winner of listed event at Clairefontaine last month. This much tougher, however.

Form: 119-461

(3)

Content³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 110| BF

3/1

Caught the eye when third in Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and arguably unlucky in the Irish Oaks when ¾-length second to You Got To Me last month, meeting trouble having been dropped out. That was her first attempt at this trip so may do better again.

Form: 14-8832

(7)

Lava Stream^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 105

33/1

Completed hat-trick when narrow winner of listed race at Goodwood before excellent neck second to Port Fairy in Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, needs to bounce back from a lacklustre display in the Irish Oaks.

Form: 51-1129

(8)

Port Fairy^v³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W M Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 106| D

22/1

Just denied in Cheshire Oaks before game winner of Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. However, ran no sort of race in the Irish Oaks and overlooked by Ryan Moore once again.

Form: 7-1210

(5)

You Got To Me^t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 111| D

9/2

All-the-way winner of the Oaks Trial at Lingfield on return before making the frame in Oaks at Epsom and Ribblesdale at Ascot. Took another step forward fitted with a tongue strap when winning the Irish Oaks at the Curragh from Content, so she must be respected.

Form: 15-1441

Forecasts

Content (3/1), Queen Of The Pride (10/3), Emily Upjohn (7/2), You Got To Me (9/2), Mistral Star (11/1), Sea Theme (11/1), Port Fairy (22/1), Lava Stream (33/1)

QUEEN OF THE PRIDE looked a Group 1 filly in the making when winning the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock and shades the vote over stablemate Emily Upjohn, who should have no excuses here. There isn't much between 3-y-os Content and You Got To Me judged on their showing in the Irish Oaks and they are also expected to be bang there.
