On Her Toes²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: W Buick| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| D

7/2

Recorded a hat-trick last year culminating in a Listed contest at Sandown before placing in Group 3 company on final start of 2016. Not disgraced in a pair of Listed efforts this time around and interesting runner dropped back into Class 2 company here.

Form: 1113-28

Miss Infinity^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90| D

33/1

Listed winner last year and not disgraced in Group company towards the end of the campaign but she's struggled badly this time around. Needs the first-time blinkers to kick-start a return to form.

Form: 7-74509

Gymnaste²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 89| BF| D

11/4

Justified favouritism when winning a maiden at Chester earlier in the year but she's finished a beaten favourite on two subsequent starts. Too keen to do herself justice last time at Royal Ascot and needs to settle better if she is to figure in this contest.

Form: 2-120

Island Vision²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 87| D

33/1

Useful juvenile last year who won a Class 2 contest over C&D. Struggled over at Meydan this winter though and didn't show enough comeback run here last month to suggest she will figure in this contest.

Form: 13-8707

Marie Of Lyon²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86

14/1

Not won since her debut at York and while she has recieved a 4lb drop for her most recent effort at Royal Ascot, she looks in need of more relief from the assessor.

Form: 1350-0

Cheval Blanche²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Lulu Stanford⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 86| D

4/1

Not disgraced from out of the handicap at Royal Ascot last time and this looks easier. Probably needs conditions to dry out to good to firm to be seen to best effect but she's an interesting front-runner in a race that hasn't got a great deal of pace in it.

Form: 10-1210

(7)

Tropical Rock⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85

8/1

Won back-to-back races over 6f last year and entitled to come on for her reappearance at Nottingham in May. Slight concern she hasn't been seen since but she's an interesting runner with more to come and owner has a good record with his fillies.

Form: 3211-0

Inshiraah¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Peckham| OR: 80| D

7/1

Won an AW maiden at Wolverhampton last month before finishing third over C&D on handicap debut. Up 3lb for that effort and this is probably a stronger race but not without an each-way chance with more progression likely.

Form: 3313

Alouja³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 79

11/1

Runner-up over C&D last time out when no match for the winner. Likely to find things tougher now tackling handicaps but yard in good form at least.

Form: 48-332

Forecasts

Gymnaste (11/4), On Her Toes (7/2), Cheval Blanche (4/1), Inshiraah (7/1), Tropical Rock (8/1), Alouja (11/1), Marie Of Lyon (14/1), Poet's Princess (14/1), Island Vision (33/1), Miss Infinity (33/1)

ON HER TOES looks like a progressive filly and she could be up to conceding weight to this field having contested Listed/Group contests on her last four starts. Cheval Blanche is an interesting pace angle to the race and she's an interesting runner if the ground dries out. Inshiraah may prove best of the rest and she ran well over C&D last time out and is still unexoposed,
