Made all to score impressively at Haydock before finding Listed company and softer ground against her when down the field behind some useful types. Official rating of 86 sets a good standard.
Shamardal filly whose dam was a Listed winner over 1m4f. Will come on for the step up to 7f but she needs to improve considerably in this field.
Unraced home-bred daughter of Lethal Force. Dam won twice over middle-distances. Stable have a lower than expected 7-50 record here with this age group.
Beaten just over 2L when fourth to She Believes at Chepstow on her second start (6f good). That form has been franked with the third placed horse Ragstone View winning since, and clearly learning her job late in that race, she can be expected to go well over this extra furlong. Meets potentially better horses in this but she looks set to be a rare juvenile winner for the yard in the none too distant future.
Supported on debut in a weak race at Lingfield and did not show much further improvement when third at Newbury next time. This looks an even tougher assignment and a hood is tried for the first time.
Makes little appeal on pedigree in this field and debut effort confirms she is likely to struggle in this company.
Home bred filly from the first crop of Italian Derby winner Worthadd out of a dam who won two races over 7f as a juvenile. Related to a couple of winners including the useful Barye. First season trainer 2-4 in last fortnight.
War Front filly, cost $585,000 as a yearling. Dam a Grade 3 winner and half-sister to Grade 1 winner Medaglia D'Oro. Came from well off the pace to be bang there 2f out before finding the final climb too much at Newmarket on her debut. Will strip fitter for that and an interesting market angle in this.
Unraced daughter of Ifraaj out of a dam who won over 1m2f. Stable have been finding winners harder to come by and this inexperienced filly has a difficult draw to overcome.
95,000 gns daughter of Zoffany out of a dam who was a winning sprinter in Germany and who has produced winning sprinter Strands Of Silk. Stable yet to fire with this year's youngsters and are just 3-43. The market will tell us if she is any better than those who have gone before her.
42,000 gns purchase as a yearling by Kyllachy out of a dam who was a middle-distance winner. Related to a winning sprinter in Czechoslovakia and fair stayer Calvinist. Stable's horses tend to improve for a run and they also have the more experienced topweight in this lineup.

Expressly will be all the rage for this having been placed in an Ascot maiden on her debut and with the yard's juveniles going well this term. However, the form may not amount to a great deal and there are some nice fillies in opposition. Royal Parks is rated 86 and it will take a good one to lower her colours, even allowing for her penalty. Both QUARGENT and Wild Impala went into many notebooks following eyecatching debuts. The former had seen some pre-race support and and can be expected to improve significantly like many from the yard. John Gosden's juveniles have been uncharacteristically looking in need of the experience on their debuts. Wild Impala represents a yard that had a young filly score here a week ago and looks certain to be in the mix this time.
