Zalshah¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon| OR: 77| BF

20/1

A £40,000 half-brother to a couple of winners but remains a maiden after four starts. Raced too keenly when a beaten favourite in on his handicap debut at Lingfield (5f, good to soft) last time but gets maximum assistance from the saddle now.

Form: 7323

Glaceon²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 71| BF

40/1

Cost €70,000 as a yearling and has ran to a similar level of form in all three starts, beaten less than 2L each time. Doesn't look particularly well-treated on these terms and clearly isn't the stable's number one.

Form: 335

(12)

Declarationoflove³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Tom Clover| OR: 79| D

20/1

Had already shown promise prior to opening his account at Windsor (5f, good to firm) at the third attempt but was well down the field when pitched into the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Others more convincing.

Form: 4310

(10)

Inviolable Spirit⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| D

40/1

Redcar debut winner (5f, good to firm) who has proved slightly disappointing in both subsequent starts in small field at Ascot and Pontefract. Needs to step things up considerably to get competitive and not the stable's best hope.

Form: 132

(19)

Requinto Dawn⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S W Kelly| T: R A Fahey| OR: 84| BF| D

25/1

Debut winner at Doncaster in division two of the Brocklesby but he was touched off when fancied at Musselburgh next time and followed that with a poor run at Chester. Gelded since, so interesting to see how he fares after a break.

Form: 127

(24)

Connery¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk| OR: 86| D

25/1

Opened his account at the third attempt when winning at Bath (5f, firm) but readily outgunned in a Listed event at Sandown (5f, good to firm) next time. Looks up against it on what he's shown so far.

Form: 2015

(1)

Lynn's Memory¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: K Shoemark| T: J P O'Brien| D

25/1

Irish raider who opened her account on her fourth start when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month. Readily picked off and ultimately finished last in a Tipperary Listed event next time, so looks up against it here.

Form: 05316

(23)

Time Trail⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 81| D

16/1

Scraped home over 5f at Beverley on her debut before gamely making all at Catterick (5f, good to firm) next time. Clearly a very sharp filly and entitled to take her chance in this company but needs to improve again.

Form: 11

(13)

Bengali Boys⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| BF| D

12/1

Beverley debut winner who has progressed since to go close in stronger company at Doncaster and Redcar (5f, good). Still inclined to take a keen hold, so there is further improvement in him if able to settle better.

Form: 122

(17)

Corinthia Knight³²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 89| D

8/1

Winner of each of his first two starts over 5f on the AW but hasn't quite kicked on, finishing mid-division in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm). Still, has to be considered on potentially favourable terms.

Form: 1129

(22)

Danehill Desert³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Sammy Jo Bell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

66/1

Only average form in his first two starts but managed to find some improvement when gamely scrambling home in front at Hamilton (5f, good) last time out. Huge improvement needed to get competitive in this.

Form: 451

(21)

Holdenhurst⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Mitch Godwin| T: S Kirk| OR: 70| BF

100/1

Scored over 6f at Brighton (good) in May in a median auction contest but largely disappointing since, finishing last of seven at Ascot (6f good) most recently. Drop to 5f not certain to suit and makes little appeal.

Form: 51727

(25)

Lexington Grace^b1¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

66/1

Already had six runs but has only one win to her name, that success coming in a 6f event at Nottingham (good to firm) last month. Could only manage fourth in a Catterick nursery last time which suggests she's firmly up against it here.

Form: 623154

(11)

Maggies Angel²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 95| D

9/4

Smart winner on her debut over 5f at Ripon (good to firm) and has run well in defeat three times since on easier ground, including when runner-up in a 6f Listed event at Newmarket last time. Yard does well in this, respected.

Form: 1422

(4)

Falabelle²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan

16/1

Not really fancied for her debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) but ran a race full of promise when just touched off after drifting right in the closing stages. Open to plenty of improvement with that experience to draw on, worth a second look.

Form: D

(5)

One For June¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas| OR: 72

20/1

Comes from a good family and has improved with each run, making light work of exploiting a good opening over 6f at Lingfield (good to soft) earlier this month. Yard bang in-form so merits respect but drop to 5f may not be ideal.

Form: 841

(18)

Pursuing The Dream¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: P Mathers| T: J A Osborne| OR: 89| BF

33/1

Had made good strides in her first four starts without managing to win a race but took a big step backwards with her performance behind Connery at Bath last time when sent off favourite. Potentially well-treated on these terms if rediscovering earlier sparkle.

Form: 94264

(9)

Lady Anjorica^p¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: S De Sousa| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 84| BF

9/1

Still a maiden after five starts, but turned over at odds-on over 6f at Ripon (good) last time. Had earlier finished a 6L 12th in the Group 2 Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) and the cheekpieces she wore there are re-introduced.

Form: 52502

(8)

Three Little Birds²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Kirk| OR: 72

33/1

Has a solid, if unspectacular profile, making the frame in all five starts, her best effort coming in a Lingfield novices' contest (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate start. One of three representatives from the yard.

Form: 22323

(20)

Debutante's Ball²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: Ryan Powell| T: J S Moore| D

12/1

Cheap purchase who overcame greenness to score at Chepstow on her debut. Tougher going in two subsequent Group 2's, though latest effort at Deauville (5f, soft) when beaten 3L represented a leap forward. Potential player off a low weight.

Form: 105

(15)

Hello Girl³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-1| J: P Sirigu| T: D K Ivory| OR: 70| BF

25/1

Not disgraced on her debut and has followed that with two solid second-place efforts over 6f at Kempton and Nottingham. Deserves to win a race but the yard is quiet and has something to prove dropping to 5f for the first time.

Form: 622

(3)

Mother of Dragons³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: J Quinn| T: J Tuite| OR: 82

12/1

Outclassed in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot last time but had previously gone close in two decent 5f novice auctions at Goodwood and Windsor. Cheap purchase price means she competes on favourable terms in this.

Form: 220

(16)

Onefootinparadise²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: P J McBride| OR: 73

25/1

Bargain-basement purchase who has shown promise on all three occasions, most recently when chasing home Veejay over 6f at Salisbury (good to soft) last month. Likely to give another good account without being quite good enough.

Form: 532

Richard Fahey has won this contest twice in the last four years and boasts another strong hand, particularly in the shape of Listed runner-up MAGGIE'S ANGEL who is proven on easy ground and who competes off a highly-favourable racing weight. Debutant winner Snazzy Jazzy could be anything and is an obvious threat despite top-weight, whilst Corinthia Knight is also interesting. For any each-way value, it may pay to look towards Debutante's Ball, Hello Girl and Mother of Dragons off basement marks.
