Impressive Doncaster maiden winner towards the end of last season and shaped like she needed the run on her most recent effort at Ascot, before being heavily eased in the final furlong, here over 1m on soft ground, last time out.

Wolverhampton win and a second to her name of late before disappointing back on turf at Brighton, before going back to the All-Weather over 1m and beaten 3¾L.

11/4
Showed plenty of potential on her debut over 7f at Kempton last September but was a shade disappointing when a warm favourite for her next race at Leicester over the same trip. Won on seasonal debut in April when winning a Catterick maiden, before beaten a head last time out, beaten short-head behinf Favourite Royal on the All-Weather. The Catterick race has seen the second and third both win.

Unseated going to post and a market drifter when making a debut over 1m at Wolverhampton in March, yet won convincingly, before bombing in a class 3 handicap at York, last time out, 37L.

Broke her duck in a handicap here last month and the runner-up has scored since, but the 12lb hike in the weights and upped to a class 2 Newmarket handicap was too much to ask last time out.

7/2
Dark Angel filly, cost €65,000 as a yearling. Closely related to winners at around the mile and dam was a half sister to Grade 2/Group 3 winner Tam Lin. Finished 4¼L behind Hadeeqa at the end of last month. Stable in terrific form with a 24% strike-rate in the last 14 days.

Forecasts

Ghadaayer (11/4), Lyric Harmony (3/1), Angel's Quest (7/2), Harmonise (11/2), Fleeting Motion (6/1), Auntie Barber (12/1), Ice Dancing (33/1)

Verdict

Big advantage from a pace angle here for runners on the front-end or ridden prominently during the race. That brings in a shortlist of Ghadaayer, Auntie Barber, Harmonise and Fleeting Motion. Preference is for the front-running GHADAAYER who should have too much for his rivals, with Harmonise holding on for a place with the fast-finishing Ice Dancing.
  1. Ghadaayer
  2. Harmonise
  3. Ice Dancing
