16/1
Lope De Vega filly who landed 6f Thirsk novice before posting a very good sixth in Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot on penultimate start. Couldn't keep the momentum going in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood but merits respect down in grade.

Proved a different proposition to debut (when sent off favourite) following a breathing operation/11 weeks off when comfortable winner of 6f Ripon novice, then gave it a good go under a penalty (probably bumped into one) at Newbury last time. Worthy of interest.

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Should give another good account.

11/1
Looked highly progressive when bagging a third success in 6f Thirsk nursery in July. Hasn't fired on last two starts but appeared stretched by 7f trip at York on latest, so this slight drop back in distance should suit.

Impressive debut winner at Kempton and backed it up with a solid showing under a penalty at Wolverhampton. Remains with potential if she's as effective on this surface.

5/1
Lightly-raced winner. Respectable eighth of 20 in minor event (13/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Should find this a more realistic assignment and she's probably not hit her limit just yet.

11/2
Boosted her progressive profile when landing a maiden in good style at Salisbury last time, showing a willing response to pressure. Appeals as the type to take to this more competitive environment, so should be involved.

Promising sort who opened her account at the second attempt at Wetherby in June and was quite strong at the finish when third at Southwell recently. Step up in trip is in her favour and she can't be dismissed.

Winner at Ripon in May. Bit below form sixth of 16 in nursery (33/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Progressive sort who made a successful winning nursery bow at Leicester in July but failed to build on it in a more competitive race at Goodwood last time. Has had a short break since then.

4/1
Generally progressive and overcame a poor position to get up late in a nursery at Southwell last time. Small rise for that may underestimate her, and she strikes as a big player.

Getting better with each run and displayed a good attitude to open her account in a maiden at Nottingham last time. Step back up in trip should suit and she's an interesting nursery debutante.

Left her debut form behind switched to turf when winning at Haydock (6f, soft) in May. Not at best since, though, and this is likely to prove too competitive.

Stepped up on previous efforts when third in a novice at Newmarket last time but opening mark demands more progress if she's to compete.

Forecasts

Art Design (4/1), Ghost Run (5/1), Dear Cat (11/2), Toomuchforme (6/1), Griselda (11/1), Eartha (12/1), Silver Ghost (12/1), Scatter Penny (12/1), Alice Fairfax (16/1), Beauty Nation (20/1), Substitute (20/1), Skellig Isle (22/1), Oolong Poobong (25/1), Hackney Diamonds (33/1), Stage Effect (40/1), Hot Like Me (40/1)

Verdict

ART DESIGN did well to get up from a most unpromising position at Southwell and promises to be suited by this longer trip, so she gets the nod over Toomuchforme, who was denied by a stablemate of the selection at Newbury last time. Dear Cat is another big player.
