Penalised for her ½L 6f Windsor debut success last month (good to firm). That form is yet to be really tested, although the third placed horse Downtown Mombasa was engaged at Kempton on Wednesday.
Ran out a 2L debut winner on the Kempton Polytrack (6f) in late May, but was out of her depth in the Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot subsequently. This race looks a more realistic option.
Oasis Dream filly who cost 38,000 gns as a yearling, but was no match for the impressive 6L winner Oriental Song at Newmarket (6f soft) just under a fortnight ago. Stronger if settling better with the benefit of that experience under her belt.
Unraced Harbour Watch filly out of an Italian Listed placed dam (Lisa's Strong). €40,000 foal, and one of two newcomers for this trainer; also saddles Deviate.
Unraced Acclamation filly out of Divert. Sixth foal who is a sister to winners Redroute and The Art of Racing, and a half-sister to further winners. One of two newcomers from this yard (also saddles Amarone Red), but looks the pick judged upon jockey bookings.
Havana Gold filly who shaped as if a step up in trip wouldn't go amiss when a never nearer fourth of 16 to Flying Sparkle over 5f at Windsor last week (good). Turned out quickly, but respected in what is admittedly a stronger race.
15,000 gns Helmet yearling who displayed clear signs of greeness when 1L second to Initiative on debut at Salisbury last month (6f good to firm). Shaped like a certain future winner and very much likely to be on the premises tonight.
Unraced seventh foal by Sayif out of Pesse. Cost 15,000 gns as a yearling, and is a sister to 5f-6f winner Sayesse. Stable has proved in the past their prowess with juveniles, but this filly looks the type to do better with experience.
Unraced first foal by Bated Breath out of a moderate mare (Chittenden). Stable not a regular source of juvenile winners and likely to struggle.
Unraced 20,000 gns yearling by Kodiac out of Jeritza. Seventh foal who is closely related to 1m3f+ German winner Joker Hill. He dam was also a stayer, so likely to need further with time.
Twice raced stablemate of Hold Your Breath, and ran well enough when third to Queen of Kalahari over C&D a couple of weeks ago. Looks capable of picking up a small race, perhaps a nursery, but others preferred.
Unraced Casamento first foal out of Palkin. Doesn't make all that much appeal on pedigree, but her trainer has been a regular supplier of winners across the board this season.
Unraced third foal by Cityscape out of Jasmeno who cost 9,000 gns as a yearling. Has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and this half-sister to 1m3f AW winner Pastoral Music looks in need of a longer trip.
Unraced Havana Gold filly out of Mutoon who is a half-sister to various winners which include Rattling Jewel and Mutoondresdashorse. Should be fine over this trip.
Unraced Helmet filly out of Sarah Park, and cost 9,000 gns as a yearling. Likely to be effective at up to 1m, but stable not really known for their juvenile winners.

Forecasts
Autumn Leaves (3/1), Electric Landlady (9/2), Kareva (5/1), Boomerang Betty (7/1), Sienna Says (12/1), Polly's Gold (12/1), Deviate (14/1), Escape The City (20/1), Bhindi (20/1), Gainsay (25/1), Jedlitzka (25/1), Fantastic Flyer (25/1), Lamb Chop (33/1), Amarone Red (50/1), Hold Your Breath (66/1), Titchy Digits (150/1)
Strong in numbers, but only time will tell if this race is strong in depth. The initial impression is that previous winners Boomerang Betty and Electric Landlady could have faced stiffer races at this track, so both horses must figure in one's thinking. A case can also be made for the likes of Kareva (hopefully will settle better), recent course third Sienna Says, and seemingly the most interesting of the newcomers Deviate. However, it was the Clive Cox trained AUTUMN LEAVES who screamed certain future winner when chasing home Initiative at Salisbury last month, and this Helmet filly should be supported despite the rather sizeable field.
