Odds
Horse A-Z
Rip Van Winkle filly whose dam is closely related to Group 1 winner Varenar and half-sister to Group 2 winner Visindar. Test looks suitable on debut and while trainer's runners often need their first outing, he does particularly well with his fillies and the jockey booking is a positive.

9/2
Champs Elysees filly, half-sister to Group 3 winner Banzari and dam a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Arvada and Group 3 winner Adagio. The pedigree all points to the likelihood she needs further but precociously bred and could be finishing off well.

5/1
Declaration Of War filly, cost €90,000 as a yearling. Dam was Group-placed and a half-sister to useful sprinter Carrington. Suitable test on debut provided she handles underfoot conditions and trainer and jockey have a useful 21.15% strike-rate when teaming up. Ought to go well.

1/1
Poet's Voice filly, half-sister to Preobrajenska and dam a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Gender Agenda and Listed placed Madame Defarge. Respectable effort at Newmarket on debut and very green. Yard's newcomers often come on for their debut so she ought to be thereabouts if she's learnt plenty from that experience.

20/1
Helmet filly, cost 9,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to winner of this trip. Didn't show enough on debut to suggest she'll be taking a hand in this contest.

8/1
Big Bad Bob filly, half-sister to Listed winner Moonrise Landing and middle distance winner Are You Mine, dam won a Group 3 over a mile. Some speed in her pedigree but likely to be better over further than this and yard have been a little quiet in recent weeks.

Forecasts

Magical (1/2), Roulette (1/1), Miss Paris (9/2), Ripley (5/1), Zilara (8/1), Ann Without An E (17/2), Titchy Digits (20/1), Rotherhithe (25/1)

Verdict

With the benefit of experience, MAGICAL will likely prove hard to beat provided she handles conditions. The Charlie Hills pair Miss Paris and Ripley are both well bred but Roulette is narrowly preferred for the runner-up spot after looking like she would benefit from her debut effort.
