Nine Tenths^t¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 100| BF| D

22/1

Smart filly who enhanced her good record on synthetics when landing listed Lady Wulfruna at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Excuses when below best on AW Finals Day at Newcastle later that month and she's a likely type to bounce back returned to turf after a break.

Form: 81-2216

Pinafore^b²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| OR: 97

16/1

Useful filly who tasted success 3 times at 6f during 2023. Best effort of present campaign when runner-up in Musselburgh listed contest (7f) in June but hasn't scaled same heights either start since. Return to handicaps a plus now with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

Form: 2-66250

Elim⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 92

7/1

Dual 1m winner at 2yrs. Shaping up well this term, sixth in Kensington Palace Stakes (1m) in June and ran just as well when third in listed Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract (1m, soft) 44 days ago, ground/stiff track possibly stretching her. Of interest back at 7f.

Form: 211-463

Back See Daa¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 91

25/1

Lope De Vega filly who was successful over 1m as a 3-y-o. Stepped up with each start so far this term, finding only re-opposing Sunfall too strong in 9-runner handicap at Haydock (7f) 18 days ago. Should give another good account nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 166-072

Key To Cotai¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: E Walker| OR: 95| D

5/1

Improved further this season, winning 19-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f) in May. Second at listed level next time and proved she's still on the up without being see to best effect when fourth behind Sunfall at Haydock (7f) 18 days ago. Needs bearing in mind with Buick up.

Form: 52-2124

Arisaig²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Spencer| T: C Johnston| OR: 94| D

17/2

Shaped well when eighth in the Sandringham (1m) at Royal Ascot in June and, following a good third at Newmarket next time, she stepped forward again to land 12-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m) 23 days ago, despite conceding first run. Claims up 6 lb.

Form: 431831

Raknah²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 93| D

18/1

Fairly useful filly who made a winning return at Lingfield (7f) in March. Plenty of creditable efforts in defeat subsequently and proved better than ever when successful from the front in listed contest at Galway (7f) 21 days ago. More to do back in handicap from career-high mark, though.

Form: 177651

Queen Of Mougins³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hector Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 89

12/1

Newbury debut winner last summer and, having contested listed races on first 2 starts of present campaign, she's performed with plenty of credit to finish placed in handicaps here/Newmarket (both 6f) in recent months. Step up to 7f looks sure to suit and she's respected.

Form: 14-6833

(6)

Miss Information²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 88| D

4/1

Improved markedly last month, readily landing handicaps at Chepstow/Epsom and acquitted herself with plenty of credit without being seen to best effect when fourth in big-field Glorious Goodwood handicap (7f) on latest run 3 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 374114

International Girl¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| BF| C

25/1

Course winner who returned to winning ways at Ripon (6f) in June. Creditable efforts on 2 of her 3 starts since but she struggled to land a telling blow from a 2 lb lower mark when ninth in this race 12 months ago. Others stronger.

Form: 2-41074

(9)

Alfa Kellenic³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 88| C

17/2

Havana Grey filly who has improved at a rate of knots since the turn of the year, defying another hike in the weights when bringing up the 4-timer at Ayr (6f) 38 days ago, leading close home. Completely unexposed at this longer trip and shortlisted from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 3-41111

(5)

Enola Grey³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 82| D

66/1

Dual scorer on all-weather in March who showed benefit of her reappearance effort back on turf when third of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 31 days ago. However, suspicion she'll prove vulnerable to better treated/less exposed rivals in this line up.

Form: 011983

(11)

Mereside Diva¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 82| BF| D

33/1

Improved for step up to 7f this season, registering victories either side of a solid second over C&D in May. Not at best following 7 weeks off when sixth behind Sunfall at Haydock 18 days ago but that run may have brought her on.

Form: 1-61217

(8)

Sunfall¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86| D

14/1

Successful from the front at Sandown (7f) in June and, following good placed efforts next 2 starts, she resumed winning ways at Haydock (7f) 18 days ago, by neck from re-opposing Back See Daa. Displayed a very good attitude then and likely she'll give another good account.

Form: 101331

Rock Melody^p⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: J S Goldie| OR: 76| D

33/1

Caught the eye when third behind Sunfall at Haydock (7f) on penultimate start and took advantage of career-low mark to resume winning ways in cosy fashion at Hamilton (6f) 9 days ago. This demands more under a penalty/returned to 7f but she's clearly in rude health.

Form: 547431

Coppull Hall Lane³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: D Egan| T: E Bethell| OR: 85| D

11/1

Laid down solid foundations in trio of maiden/novice events and displayed further progress to take her tally to 2 wins from 4 starts on handicap debut at Redcar (1m) 32 days ago, fending off another improver. 2 lb rise looks fair and respected for yard enjoying an excellent season.

Form: 2121

(16)

Aquacell⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 80| D

40/1

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Chelmsford (7f) in April and finished runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts subsequently, latterly at Newmarket (7f) in June. This demands another step forward however from 1 lb out of the weights.

Form: 1622

Miss Information (4/1), Key To Cotai (5/1), Elim (7/1), Alfa Kellenic (17/2), Arisaig (17/2), Coppull Hall Lane (11/1), Queen Of Mougins (12/1), Queen's Reign (12/1), Sunfall (14/1), Pinafore (16/1), Raknah (18/1), Nine Tenths (22/1), International Girl (25/1), Back See Daa (25/1), Mereside Diva (33/1), Rock Melody (33/1), Aquacell (40/1), Enola Grey (66/1)

ALFA KELLENIC posted a useful effort and was value for extra as she brought up the 4-timer at Ayr (6f) last month, coming off an ordinary gallop to lead close home. A 3 lb rise for that victory looks fair and, completely unexposed at this trip, she's very much of interest again with the distinct possibility of more to come. Miss Information caught the eye when fourth at Goodwood and is a big threat along with Ed Bethell's pair Elim and Coppull Hall Lane. Key to Cotai completes the shortlist.
