Verdict
Really good standard and hard to pick between some of these - Song On The Clyde and Zanthos catch the eye most but couldn’t put you off any of the leading contenders.
Parade ring updates
1 Albert Einstein - always an impressive physical, takes the eye again - similar presentation to last few runs.
2 Aspect Island - taken the run three days ago fine, alert and moving well.
3 Brussels - always been an impressive physical and continues to make appeal, fit and fine in first time cheekpieces.
4 Charles Darwin - stocky build and sweating, others preferred
5 Coppull - fit, similar to last time - compact sprinting type, little plain
6 Division - looks in good order, has rib definition, not much to dislike.
7 Havana Hurricane - better than Newbury from a fitness perspective, never going to stand out as quite a plain sort.
8 My Calyx Cen - has got very warm but well muscled and defined, fine.
9 Northern Champion - leggy and angular compared to a lot of these, doesn’t stand out physically.
10 Outfielder - bull of a colt, big chest and not lacking for height either, likeable.
11 Rock On Thunder - very on toes, tail swishing and throwing himself about
12 Samangan - big, strong colt, having a few keen moments but easily managed, plenty to like.
13 Song On The Clyde - has plenty of quality to match the best in this field, strong top line and rear end.
14 Super Soldier - fit and wiry, good level of definition.
15 Wise Approach - always been good looking, two handlers but easy to manage, no fitness queries.
16 Fitzella - light framed filly, little busy but standard paddock behaviour for her.
17 Havana Anna - leggy athletic build, plain through the coat, doesn’t stand out.
18 Kimi Rey - plain and moderate compared to some of these, lacking in physical presence.
19 Midnight Tango - small, compact type, fit and fine.
20 Spicy Marg - looks well, tall athletic filly, has been presenting well and does so again.
21 Venetian Sun - looks in great order, not the prettiest of fillies from an aesthetic point of view but she’s all muscle
22 Zanthos - light framed and slender filly, tends to present fit and catches the eye.

Billy Loughnane: "This is no surprise. I loved her before her first ever run, her work had been very good and I was pleased she did everything right that day on a very hot day at Leicester. She handled the prelims brilliantly. I had an uncompromising draw but switched her off and she showed an explosive turn of foot.
"It's great and George has got his team in such great shape; he's a fantastic trainer and I'm the lucky one that gets to partner some very talented horses. I'm so hungry to ride winners and to be riding in these races is what you want.
"I do think she'll stay seven; it's a stiff six here today and she gives herself every chance. It will be interesting and she'll have some loftier targets now."
Verdict
Sun Goddess clear best, Dark Issue and Topaz also liked.
Parade ring updates
1 Acclamation Star (below also) - second handler added, negative.
1 Acclamation Star - fairly lengthy, walks well, wears red hood but nice and straightforward.
2 Bated Benevolence - neat filly, well balanced. Starting to get a touch warm, but not through being nervy.
3 Blue Sign - compact, stocky build, okay.
4 Crazy Cubana - a little busy and lacks the class of others, doesn’t jump out on fitness either.
5 Dark Issue - one of the better models, physically quite forward and has a good demeanour to match.
6 Dee’s Funny Girl - heavy set filly, fine for frame but doesn’t stand out.
7 Desert Sands - little weak through neck, marginally better physical of the yards pair.
8 Dubai Charm - compact, speedy type but has got very warm.
9 Glamorize - very tense and tight through the shoulders, good level of fitness.
10 Hidden Gift - lean and agile, little tense and warm but no major concerns.
11 Jolivette - good size, quite solidly built compared to some of these, still a little green but nothing alarming.
12 King’s Prize - plain filly, quite a raw physical, fine level of fitness.
13 Kochella - plain and doesn’t appeal on physical, quite poor through the coat.
14 Libertango - little weak through the frame and doesn’t make physical appeal, although was the same when winning at Leicester.
15 Light Of Dawn - strong filly, bum high still and will grow a little more, fit.
16 Love Is - has got very warm, has got muscle definition but others jump out more.
17 Magnesium - big sizeable filly, one for the notebook, doesn’t appear spot on today.
18 Ron’s Angel - busy, compact filly, has got very warm between back legs where been fussing.
19 Roxelina - looks heavy.
20 Silent Beauty - little unsure, two handlers but fit and well.
21 Sun Goddess - easily the best juvenile seen from the O’Brien yard this week, big, scopey filly with a loose walk.
22 Tall Trees - presenting heavy, doesn’t appeal on fitness.
23 Topaz - one of the better models, racy and agile.
24 Valentina Bella - very keen and fussy, will need to be well managed, others preferred.
