Leovanni⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: K R Burke| OR: 106

3/1

£190,000 2-y-o, Kodi Bear filly. Justified short odds in ready fashion first time up in 11-runner maiden at Nottingham and impressive when a ready winner of the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. 3 lb penalty to carry but still a major player with 6f sure to suit.

Form: 11

Betty Clover²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 97| C

11/1

Time Test filly who was strong at the finish when winning 15-runner listed race at York (5f) in May. Couldn't lay a glove on Leovanni in the Queen Mary but improved for step up to 6f when an excellent neck-second in the Princess Margaret Stakes a month ago.

Form: 12182

Celandine²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 100| D

13/2

Continued theme of big race-by-race progress when supplementing her Windsor win in listed company at Newmarket in June (6f). Sound-enough efforts both starts since (latterly on first try at 5f) without suggesting she has a bigger performance in her.

Heavens Gate¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 102| BF| D

15/8

Bred to stay well but has displayed plenty of ability over sprint trips, third in the Albany and Duchess of Cambridge before landing the odds in a big-field sales race at Naas 17 days ago. That is just about the best form on offer so she's the one to beat.

Form: 21331

Miss Lamai²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 97

12/1

Lot to like about her physically and she showed plenty of zest when fourth to Leovanni in the Queen Mary at Ascot. Didn't need to improve on that form to double her tally at Naas a month ago and now tackles 6f for the first time.

Form: 1241

(6)

Perfect Part¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Ellison| OR: 83| BF

50/1

Shock winner of the Hilary Needler at Beverley on debut in June. Hasn't built on that both subsequent starts and while 6f may unlock more, this is a tough assignment.

Form: 124

(2)

Tales Of The Heart²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96| D

13/2

400,000 gns yearling who made a winning start to her career over 6f at Kempton in June. Improved when second in Newmarket listed contest next time and while she's run perfectly well in defeat since (just behind Betty Clover last time) her merit does now look established.

Form: 1263

(5)

Time For Sandals³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 86| D

10/1

Sands of Mali filly who displayed a sharp turn of foot when making a winning start at Kempton in June (6f). Better form when a keeping-on third in the Super Sprint at Newbury (5.2f) and there should be plenty more to come from her returned to this trip.

Form: 13

(3)

Unspoken Love³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| D

50/1

Forced to work hard to land very short odds in 5-runner Musselburgh seller (5f) but more like it when following up in novice company on first try over 6f last month. Found step up to listed company too much at La Teste last time and the outsider of Karl Burke's trio here.

Forecasts

Heavens Gate (15/8), Leovanni (3/1), Celandine (13/2), Tales Of The Heart (13/2), Time For Sandals (10/1), Betty Clover (11/1), Miss Lamai (12/1), Perfect Part (50/1), Unspoken Love (50/1)

HEAVENS GATE is an uncomplicated and useful juvenile, doubling her tally in comfortable fashion in sales company 17 days ago. She faces stiff competition from the unbeaten Queen Mary winner Leovanni (who should improve for 6f) but the 3 lb the Aidan O'Brien filly receives may well be pivotal. Of the rest, Time For Sandals could progress a lot so she isn't taken lightly.
